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 Improvement Opportunity: With a D1 BER rating, upgrading to a B2 rating would cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 and could increase property value by €15,000-€20,000, representing a sound investment.
Details
- Size Advantage: At 121.0m², this 4-bedroom apartment is spacious and likely offers good value in terms of square footage compared to typical apartments within a 10km radius which average 3 beds.
- Value Optimization Potential: The current D1 BER rating suggests potential for significant energy cost savings; upgrading could reduce annual energy bills from an estimated €1,800-€2,200 for a D1 property to €800-€1,200 for a B-rated property, a saving of €1,000-€1,400 annually.
- Hypothesis: The property's D1 BER rating, while requiring investment, presents a significant opportunity for value enhancement. A strategic upgrade could not only improve energy efficiency and reduce running costs but also align the property more closely with the preferences of a market increasingly focused on sustainability, potentially justifying a higher premium upon resale.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Thurles is served by Bus Éireann routes, with specific routes like the 71, 72, and 74 providing regional connectivity; the town also has a train station on the Dublin Heuston to Cork line, offering direct access to major cities.
Details
- Local Education and Healthcare: The property is situated near esteemed educational institutions such as Presentation Secondary School and Scoil Ailbhe Boys' National School, as well as the Tipperary University Hospital in Clonmel (approx. 30km drive) and local health clinics.
- Retail and Lifestyle Hub: Kickham Street is in the heart of Thurles, offering proximity to supermarkets like Tesco and Dunnes Stores, local boutiques, and amenities such as Hayes Hotel for dining and The Plaza for entertainment.
- Hypothesis: The established infrastructure in Thurles, including its rail links and array of local services, provides a solid foundation for property value. Future development in the town centre, such as potential upgrades to public transport frequency or the introduction of new retail and leisure facilities, could further enhance the desirability and valuation of properties like Cathedral View Apartments.
