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 a BER rating of 'Unknown' (SI_666), which often signifies a very low or non-compliant rating, upgrading to a B2 would likely cost €15,000-€20,000, potentially adding €25,000-€30,000 in value and saving €1,200-€1,600 annually on energy costs compared to a G-rated property.
Details
- Spacious but Unbalanced Configuration: The 187m² size is substantial, placing it in the 'Very Large' category, however, the single bathroom for five bedrooms presents a significant functional deficit, likely requiring a costly extension or renovation to add more bathrooms.
- Renovation Opportunity: The property's 1.0 bathroom for 5 bedrooms represents a considerable mismatch with market expectations, where similar sized properties within a 10km radius typically have a median of 2.0 bathrooms, suggesting a renovation project could unlock significant value by rectifying this.
- Hypothesis: Given the high number of bedrooms (5) and the extremely low number of bathrooms (1), a strategic investment in adding at least two more bathrooms could increase the property's desirability and value by an estimated 15-20% within this market, addressing a critical functional gap.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport Access: There are no specific bus routes, train stations, or Luas/DART stops listed as serving Youghal directly in the provided data, indicating potential reliance on private transport.
Details
- Basic Local Services: While specific schools and shops aren't detailed for Youghal, properties in similar 'outside Dublin' locations typically offer essential local services like primary schools and small supermarkets, but may lack extensive retail or specialist healthcare options.
- Walkability Concerns: Without specific pedestrian infrastructure details for O'Brien's Place, the 'Outside Dublin' classification suggests that walkability to extensive amenities might be limited, likely requiring car use for most daily needs.
- Hypothesis: The lack of specified public transport and the 'Outside Dublin' designation suggest that the value of this property is heavily tied to its local context and the availability of private transport, rather than its connectivity to larger urban centers, making any future infrastructure development in Youghal a significant value driver.
