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 Opportunity: Upgrading this E1 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
- Costly Energy Inefficiency: With an E1 BER rating, annual energy costs are estimated to be between €1,800-€2,200, significantly higher than the €800-€1,200 for a B-rated property of similar size.
- Compact Living Space: At 44.0m², this 2-bedroom apartment is compact, which may appeal to a specific buyer profile but could be a limiting factor for families or those seeking more expansive living areas compared to the 3-bedroom median in the wider area.
- Hypothesis: The E1 BER rating presents a significant opportunity for value enhancement through energy efficiency upgrades, with an estimated €10,000 investment potentially yielding €15,000-€20,000 in increased valuation, a strategy that could be particularly impactful given the property's current below-market asking price and the wider market's trend towards energy-conscious housing.
Amenities
Portarlington Transport Hub: Portarlington train station offers direct services to Dublin Heuston and other key destinations, providing excellent commuter potential beyond just local bus routes.
Details
- Local Retail Access: The property is situated on Main Street, Portarlington, implying proximity to local shops, services, and potentially supermarkets, enhancing day-to-day convenience.
- Community Facilities: Portarlington boasts a range of local amenities including schools like Portarlington CBS Primary School and St. Michael's National School, as well as local sports facilities and parks.
- Hypothesis: While Portarlington offers a functional base with train connectivity, the absence of specific local data on parks, cafes, or higher educational institutions within a close radius (5km) suggests that its appeal as a lifestyle destination might be more limited than larger urban centres, potentially impacting long-term capital appreciation unless further infrastructure development is planned for the immediate area.
