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 Opportunity: The current BER rating of SI_666 is unknown; upgrading from an assumed poor rating to a C2 would cost an estimated €9,000-€13,000 and could potentially increase property value by €18,000-€25,000.
Details
- Size Efficiency Concerns: At 74m², this 3-bedroom detached house is smaller than the median 3-bed property within a 10km radius (which often has 1 bathroom compared to this property's 1 bathroom), potentially limiting its appeal to larger families without significant extension potential.
- Value Optimization Potential: Given the low median number of bathrooms (1.0) within a 10km radius compared to the wider market (median 2.0), adding a second bathroom could represent a high-impact renovation, costing approximately €6,000-€10,000 and potentially increasing market value by €12,000-€20,000.
- Hypothesis: The prevalence of 'Unknown' BER ratings (100%) across all market segments suggests a lack of mandatory BER disclosure or enforcement in this region historically, creating a blind spot for buyers and sellers regarding energy efficiency and its long-term cost implications.
Amenities
Limited Local Connectivity: The absence of specific bus routes, train stations, or Luas stops mentioned for the Athlacca area suggests a reliance on private transport, with nearest major transport hubs likely requiring a significant drive.
Details
- Basic Local Services: The immediate vicinity likely offers essential services, but specific detailed listings for schools like Limerick Educate Together National School or healthcare facilities such as the University Hospital Limerick are not readily available for this precise rural location.
- Suburban Commuting Challenge: Without direct public transport links to larger employment centres like Limerick city, commuting would likely involve long drives, impacting the lifestyle appeal for those seeking convenient access to urban amenities and workplaces.
- Hypothesis: The rural location of Athlacca, characterized by its limited public transport and amenity data within the provided metrics, indicates a property segment that appeals primarily to those seeking a quieter, more isolated lifestyle, with potential future value appreciation heavily dependent on any planned regional infrastructure development.
