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
Energy Efficiency Advantage: With a B2 BER rating, this property offers significant annual energy cost savings, estimated to be €1,000-€1,400 compared to a D-rated property of similar size (annual costs of €800-€1,200 vs €1,800-€2,200 for D-rated properties).
Details
- Spacious Family Home: At 120m², this 4-bedroom detached property is categorized as 'Large', providing ample living space that surpasses the median 3-bedroom configuration observed in sold properties across the 5km to 100km radii.
- Bathroom Configuration Discrepancy: While offering 4 bedrooms, the property features only 1 bathroom, which is below the median of 2 bathrooms for sold properties across all monitored radii, potentially indicating a future upgrade opportunity for buyers.
- Hypothesis: The lower bathroom count relative to bedroom numbers could make this property an attractive target for buyers seeking a renovation project, as adding an en-suite or second bathroom would significantly enhance its market appeal and value beyond standard appreciation in this desirable Rochestown location.
Amenities
Strong Public Transport Links: The property benefits from excellent bus connectivity via routes like the 206, 216, 220, 223, and 223A operating from Rochestown Road, offering direct access to Douglas and Cork City Centre.
Details
- Comprehensive Local Facilities: Rochestown offers immediate access to essential amenities including Rochestown Educate Together National School, Douglas Village Shopping Centre with major supermarkets like Dunnes Stores, and the Douglas Medical Centre, all within a 3-4km radius.
- Exceptional Recreational Access: Residents can enjoy a high quality of life with direct access to the popular Rochestown Greenway for walking and cycling, alongside proximity to Tramore Valley Park, providing ample green space for family activities.
- Hypothesis: The continuous development of local infrastructure and the expansion of the Rochestown Greenway are enhancing the area's appeal as a prime residential location, suggesting future property value growth will be increasingly tied to these lifestyle amenities rather than just traditional urban access points.
