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 Efficiency: With a B BER rating, this apartment offers good energy efficiency, potentially resulting in annual energy costs of €900-€1,300, compared to €2,000-€2,500 for a D-rated property of similar size.
Value Optimization: Upgrading from a B BER rating to an A rating could cost €5,000-€10,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €10,000-€15,000.
Space Efficiency: At 80m² with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the property offers a balanced configuration, with a typical price per sqm of €3,812.5 based on the asking price, which is below the 1km median of €4,067.
Hypothesis: Given that the 1km_180d_median_sale_price_same_type (€300,000) is significantly lower than the asking price of €305,000, the superior BER rating (B) and the additional bathroom likely contribute a substantial value uplift to this specific unit.
