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 Rating Investment Opportunity: The C3 BER rating suggests potential for improvement; upgrading to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €10,000-€15,000 but might increase property value by €18,000-€25,000 based on market trends for energy-efficient homes.
Details
- Space Efficiency: With 204m² and 5 bedrooms, this property offers significant space, positioning it well within the 10km radius where the median number of bedrooms is 3 and the median sale price for 4+ bedroom properties is €437,750.
- Value Optimization: While the property is large, its C3 BER rating and €550,000 asking price suggest a need for strategic renovations to align with the 10km radius's median sale price of €310,000 (180-day average), representing a potential €240,000 upside with targeted improvements.
- Hypothesis: The C3 BER rating, while not poor, presents an opportunity for significant value creation; assuming a €12,000 renovation cost to achieve a B2 rating and a conservative €20,000 value increase, this would still leave the property approximately €232,000 above the 10km median sale price, implying that structural enhancements beyond BER are likely needed to justify the current asking price.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: Within a 5km radius, there are no Luas, DART, or train stations, and the closest bus routes are not specified in the provided data, indicating a reliance on private transport for connectivity.
Details
- Local Amenities Access: Information on specific schools like Curracloe National School or local shops such as Bridgetown Community Shop, and healthcare facilities like Wexford General Hospital is not provided, requiring further investigation for local convenience.
- Walkability Concerns: The 'outside Dublin' location implies potentially limited walkability; detailed information on local pedestrian infrastructure and the distance to essential services like supermarkets (e.g., SuperValu Castlebridge) or cafes (e.g., The Bridge Cafe) is absent.
- Hypothesis: The lack of specific transport routes and amenity data within a 5km radius for Castlebridge suggests this area is primarily a dormitory or rural location, where a strong emphasis on private vehicle ownership is assumed, potentially limiting its appeal to commuters who rely on public transport or favour high-density urban living with immediate access to a wide array of services.
