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 C1 Opportunity: With a C1 BER rating, upgrading to a B2 rating could cost €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase property value by €15,000-€20,000, offering a tangible return on investment.
Expansive Living Space: At 18,351.0m², this detached property is significantly larger than the typical 3-bedroom homes found in the market, offering substantial space and potential for luxury living.
Generous Configuration: Featuring 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, this property exceeds the median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms within the 100km radius, aligning well with the demands of larger families or those seeking more space.
Hypothesis: The substantial size and relatively good BER rating of this property, if combined with modern interior upgrades and landscaping, could command a significant premium, particularly if the local market continues to favour larger, well-appointed detached homes over apartments or smaller townhouses.
Amenities
Local Transport Links: While the specific data doesn't list precise routes, Monkstown is served by Cork City's bus network, with routes like the 215 providing access to the city centre, and proximity to the N28 offers easy driving access.

Hypothesis: Investment in enhanced local infrastructure, such as improved pedestrian pathways to local amenities or increased frequency of public transport services, could further bolster property values in Monkstown by enhancing its commuter appeal and overall liveability.
