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 Enhancement Opportunity: Upgrading the E2 BER rating to a C1 could cost an estimated €10,000 - €15,000 and potentially increase property value by €18,000 - €25,000.
Details
- Spacious Living: The 120m² size offers ample living space, exceeding the typical median of 3 bedrooms and potentially 2 bathrooms seen in nearby markets.
- Value Optimization: Focusing on BER improvements from E2 to C1 could significantly enhance long-term value and appeal, given the E2 rating is well below the market median of 2 bathrooms in the 100km radius.
- Hypothesis: The low BER rating (E2) is a significant detractor, especially in markets where energy efficiency is increasingly valued; strategic upgrades could unlock substantial value not reflected in the current asking price or estimated value.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: As an island property, direct access to public transport like bus routes (e.g., Bus Éireann routes typically serving West Cork) or train stations (e.g., Skibbereen, 25km away) is likely challenging.
Details
- Local Services: Access to essential amenities like schools (e.g., Scoil Náisiúnta Ghleann na Ré, approximately 5km away) and shops (e.g., local village shops in Leap or Rosscarbery, approximately 15-20km away) requires travel.
- Remote Lifestyle Appeal: The property's location offers seclusion and natural beauty, appealing to buyers prioritizing peace and quiet over immediate access to urban conveniences.
- Hypothesis: The inherent remoteness of Heir Island, while a key selling point for tranquility, presents a significant barrier to broader buyer appeal due to the lack of immediate public transport and proximity to essential services, necessitating a strong emphasis on a self-sufficient lifestyle.
