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 Upgrade Potential: The E1 BER rating indicates significant potential for value enhancement through energy efficiency upgrades, with estimated costs of €10,000-€15,000 to reach a B2 rating, potentially increasing property value by €18,000-€25,000.
Size Advantage: At 130.0m², this 4-bedroom detached property is a good size, likely meeting the needs of families in an area where similar homes may be smaller or less common.
Value Optimization Needed: The E1 BER rating suggests that immediate investment in insulation, heating systems, and windows would be necessary to improve comfort and reduce annual energy costs, which are estimated to be €2,000-€2,600 compared to €900-€1,300 for a B-rated property.
Hypothesis: The current E1 BER rating suggests a gap in energy efficiency compared to newer builds or recently renovated properties in the broader market. Future value appreciation for this property will likely be heavily influenced by its ability to achieve a higher BER rating, closing the gap with more energy-efficient comparables.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: Based on the provided data, specific bus routes, train stations, Luas stops, or DART stations serving Lispatrick Lower, Old Head, Co. Cork are not explicitly mentioned, suggesting potential reliance on private transport.
Local Services Gap: Without specific details on nearby schools (e.g., primary/secondary), healthcare facilities (hospitals/clinics), or retail options (supermarkets/shopping centres), assessing the immediate amenity provision is difficult.
Walkability Uncertainty: Information on actual walking routes, pedestrian infrastructure, or dedicated green spaces is absent, making it challenging to evaluate the walkability and local lifestyle appeal of the immediate surroundings.
Hypothesis: The property's location in Old Head, Co. Cork, outside of a major urban centre, implies that its amenity value is heavily dependent on car ownership. Future infrastructure development or investment in local services would be key drivers for increasing its lifestyle appeal and potential property value.
