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
B2 BER Efficiency: The B2 BER rating offers a good level of energy efficiency, positioning it favourably against older, lower-rated properties in terms of running costs.
Details
- Generous Size: At 388m², the property is substantially larger than the median of 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms in the 100km radius market.
- Value Optimization: While the B2 rating is good, a strategic upgrade to A3 or higher, potentially costing €8,000-€15,000, could yield an additional 5-8% in market value in a competitive environment.
- Hypothesis: The presence of a B2 BER rating for a property of this size (388m²) suggests that its thermal envelope is likely well-maintained, but the heating system or ventilation may not be cutting-edge; targeted upgrades to a high-efficiency heat pump and improved insulation could yield significant annual savings of €800-€1,200 compared to a D-rated equivalent.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: The property's rural location in Minane Bridge means it is not served by direct bus routes, Luas, or DART stations, requiring significant travel for public transport access.
Details
- Distant Urban Services: The closest significant amenities like Cork city's hospitals (e.g., Cork University Hospital) and major shopping centres (e.g., Mahon Point Shopping Centre) are over 20km away, necessitating car dependency.
- Rural Connectivity Dependence: With no direct bus routes or train stations serving Roberts Cove, residents are highly reliant on private vehicles for daily commutes and access to essential services such as schools like Carrigaline Educate Together or healthcare clinics.
- Hypothesis: The geographical isolation and lack of direct public transport links to urban centres will likely cap future capital appreciation unless significant local infrastructure projects, such as improved road networks or the introduction of enhanced local bus services connecting to larger hubs, are announced.
