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.

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: With a G BER rating, this property presents a significant energy efficiency upgrade opportunity; investing an estimated €18,000-€25,000 could improve it to a B2 rating and potentially increase its value by €30,000-€40,000.
Details
- Energy Cost Savings: A G-rated property of this size typically incurs annual energy costs of €2,500-€3,500, whereas a B2-rated home could reduce these to €900-€1,400, offering potential annual savings of €1,600-€2,100.
- Bathroom Below Median: While offering a generous 108m² for its 3 bedrooms, the property’s single bathroom is less than the 5km median of 2 bathrooms, suggesting a potential enhancement opportunity to align with local standards and increase appeal.
- Hypothesis: The property's current low BER rating and single bathroom represent an untapped value creation potential; buyers willing to invest in these upgrades could not only enhance livability and reduce running costs but also unlock significant equity in a market that increasingly values energy efficiency and modern conveniences.
