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
Significant BER Upgrade Needed: With an F BER rating, upgrading to a B2 standard could cost an estimated €12,000-€18,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €18,000-€25,000.
Limited Living Space: At 65.0m², this 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom property is on the smaller side, which may limit its appeal to families or those seeking more spacious accommodation in the local area.
Value Optimization Opportunity: Investing in energy efficiency upgrades for this F-rated property could unlock significant value, as properties with higher BER ratings typically command a premium and lower running costs compared to the €2,000-€2,800 estimated annual energy expenditure for this rating.
Hypothesis: The F BER rating on this property likely contributes to its current asking price being 13.57% below its estimated value, as buyers in this market are increasingly factoring in the substantial costs of energy retrofitting.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: While Castletownroche is served by Bus Eireann route 245, which connects to Mallow, there are no train stations or Luas/DART stops directly serving Bridgetown Upper, requiring a significant commute to access broader public transport networks.
Local Essentials Access: Basic amenities like shops and pharmacies would likely be found in nearby larger towns such as Mallow, which is approximately 15km away, impacting daily convenience for residents of Bridgetown Upper.
Rural Lifestyle Focus: The property is situated in a rural setting, suggesting a focus on community-oriented lifestyle amenities and natural surroundings rather than urban conveniences like numerous restaurants or large shopping centres within close proximity.
Hypothesis: The lack of direct public transport links and proximity to major retail hubs for Bridgetown Upper means that property values are likely more influenced by local community amenities and the natural environment, rather than commuter convenience to larger urban centres.
