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 Improvement Opportunity: The E1 BER rating suggests significant scope for improvement; upgrading to a C1 rating could cost approximately €10,000-€15,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €18,000-€25,000.
Size vs. Market: At 120m², this 2-bedroom apartment is larger than many 'same type' apartments sold within 1km (median sale price €386,000), suggesting a potential mismatch between size and typical configurations for that price point.
Value Optimization Potential: Given the E1 BER, investing in insulation, window upgrades, and a more efficient heating system for an estimated €10,000-€15,000 could improve its market appeal and reduce future energy costs by an estimated €800-€1,200 annually compared to its current rating.
Hypothesis: The E1 BER rating, while a current drawback, presents a clear investment opportunity for a buyer to significantly enhance the property's long-term value and energy efficiency, making it a compelling proposition for those willing to undertake targeted renovations and achieve a higher BER classification.
Amenities
