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

Property Quality
Energy Efficiency Savings: With an excellent B-rated BER, this 120m² property offers estimated annual energy costs of €1,000-€1,400, saving approximately €600-€1,200 annually compared to a D-rated property of similar size, typically costing €1,800-€2,200 per year.
Superior Configuration: This 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom semi-detached property significantly exceeds the typical 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom configuration seen in median sales within a 5km radius over the past 180 days, offering enhanced family living space.
Spacious Living: At 120m², this property provides ample living space, aligning with the higher end of demand for family homes in the 20km radius, where the median property has 4 bedrooms.
