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 Required: The G BER rating indicates a need for substantial energy efficiency upgrades, estimated to cost between €10,000 and €15,000 to reach a B2 rating, which could increase property value by €18,000-€25,000.
Details
- Below Standard Size: At 105.0m², this 3-bed, 1-bath property is on the smaller side compared to the median 3-bed, 2-bath properties often seen in the market with larger floor areas.
- Value Optimization Opportunity: Investing in upgrading the BER from G to a C or B rating would likely yield a strong return on investment, potentially increasing the property's market appeal and saleability given the current trend towards energy efficiency.
- Hypothesis: Given the G BER rating and limited local sales data within a 5km radius, a strategic investment in a deep energy retrofit (insulation, heating systems, windows) could not only recoup its cost through increased value but also position the property attractively against any future developments or higher-quality stock that may emerge in the broader region.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: The absence of specific bus route numbers or train stations within a 20km radius suggests poor public transport connectivity for this rural location.
Details
- Basic Local Services: While Rathdowney offers some amenities, the lack of specific named schools, shops, or healthcare facilities within easily accessible distances (implied by rural location) limits convenience.
- Low Walkability: The rural setting at Coolkerry implies limited walkability to essential services, requiring reliance on private transport for most daily needs and errands.
- Hypothesis: The future value appreciation of this property will be highly dependent on external factors like improved regional transport links or significant local development initiatives, as the current amenity and connectivity profile is characteristic of isolated rural dwellings with limited organic growth drivers.
