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
Suboptimal BER Rating: The SI_666 BER rating indicates a potentially inefficient property; upgrading from a D1 equivalent (estimated) to a B2 rating would likely cost €8,000-€12,000 and could increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000.
Details
- Compact Living Space: At 55.0m², this 3-bedroom apartment is small for its configuration, averaging only 18.3m² per room, which may limit its appeal and practicality compared to larger properties in the area.
- Value Enhancement Opportunity: Given the likely lower BER rating, investing €8,000-€12,000 in energy efficiency upgrades could unlock an estimated €15,000-€20,000 in increased property value, making it a worthwhile consideration for a buyer.
- Hypothesis: The current BER rating, likely in the D or E range, combined with a compact 55m² size for three bedrooms, suggests that the primary driver of value for this property will not be its inherent quality or size, but rather its attractive asking price and potential for cosmetic and energetic upgrades within a desirable city centre location.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Situated in Waterford City Centre, residents have access to Bus Éireann routes serving various destinations, and are within reasonable proximity to Waterford train station for intercity travel.
Details
- Local Services Access: The property is near various amenities, including Tesco and Dunnes Stores supermarkets within walking distance, and close to the prominent shopping of Georges Street and the City Square Shopping Centre.
- Healthcare Proximity: Waterford University Hospital is a short drive away, providing comprehensive healthcare services, supplemented by numerous local pharmacies and GP clinics within the city centre.
- Hypothesis: The central location in Waterford City Centre, offering direct access to multiple bus routes and within walking distance of key retail hubs like City Square Shopping Centre, positions this property as an excellent option for those prioritizing convenience and connectivity, potentially commanding a higher valuation if the market fully recognizes the ease of access to essential services.
