Market Position
Priced Above Local Sales

How this is calculated
We search the Property Price Register for closed sales near this property — matching by location, beds, property type, and where available, floor area (±20%). This gives us a set of genuinely comparable transactions.
Each sale is then time-adjusted to today using local price trends, so a sale from 18 months ago is inflated (or deflated) to reflect current market conditions. Where floor area is known, sales are also size-adjusted — a 90m² sale is normalised to what it would have sold for at this property's size. This means the figures you see aren't raw prices — they're what those same homes would likely sell for today, at this size.
Your bid strategy (opening offer, sealed bid range, walk-away ceiling) is then derived from the statistical distribution of these adjusted sales — with conservative safety margins applied when data is thin or dated.
Every figure comes from actual government-recorded sale prices. No asking prices, no agent estimates, no automated valuations.

Methodology
Closed sales time-adjusted to current market · size-weighted where floor area available · no asking prices or agent estimates used.
How adjustments work
- —Older sales inflated to current market level so stale data doesn't skew bands
- —Similar-sized properties weighted more heavily where floor area is known
- —Local price trends factored in when sufficient data exists; no artificial uplift otherwise
- —All figures from registered closed sales only — no asking prices, no agent estimates
Local Market Notes
Property Quality
BER Upgrade Potential: Upgrading the D1 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000.
Details
- Space Efficiency: At 120m², this 2-bedroom apartment offers ample living space, fitting into the 'Large' size category and providing more square footage than the 3-bedroom median of 3 beds within a 100km radius.
- Value Optimization Opportunity: A D1 BER rating suggests potential for significant energy cost savings and value enhancement through insulation, window upgrades, and heating system improvements, with current annual energy costs estimated at €1,800-€2,200.
- Hypothesis: The D1 BER rating, common in older apartment blocks like Strand Palace, presents a specific opportunity for the management company to implement a phased upgrade program, potentially securing bulk discounts on retrofitting for residents and increasing the overall property value of the complex by 5-10%.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: While specific bus routes or train stations for Youghal are not detailed, the property's 'Outside Dublin' location implies reliance on local bus services like Bus Éireann routes serving Cork and surrounding towns, and potentially the nearest train station in Midleton (approx. 30km).
Details
- Lifestyle & Family Focus: Youghal town centre offers amenities such as primary schools like St. Mary's National School, secondary schools, local supermarkets, pharmacies, and recreational facilities including Youghal Beach and the Quays.
- Walkability & Local Services: Upper Strand provides good walkability to Youghal's main street, offering access to shops, cafes, and local services, with the iconic Youghal Clock Gate Tower and historic town centre within a short stroll.
- Hypothesis: The 'Outside Dublin' designation, coupled with Youghal's distinct regional character, suggests that future property value appreciation will be more closely tied to local infrastructure development and tourism growth than to national commuter trends.
