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: This property's C2 BER rating indicates good energy efficiency, with estimated annual energy costs of €1,400-€1,800, potentially saving €800-€1,000 annually compared to a D-rated home of a similar substantial size.
Details
- Expansive Living Space: The property's vast 430m² floor area with 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms provides significantly more space than the median 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom properties typically sold within a 50km radius, appealing to larger families or those seeking extensive accommodation.
- Modernization Potential: Upgrading this C2 BER to an A-rating, while potentially costing €15,000-€25,000 for a property of this scale, could add €20,000-€35,000 to its value and further reduce annual running costs by hundreds of euro, presenting a shrewd investment opportunity.
- Hypothesis: The property's exceptionally large size and high bedroom/bathroom count position it as a premium offering in a market dominated by smaller homes, suggesting its value is heavily tied to catering to a niche demand for spacious, well-appointed rural residences, potentially attracting discerning buyers looking for a substantial family home.
