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 BER rating of 'BER_PENDING', significant costs and value increases are possible; upgrading from an estimated 'G' to a 'B2' could cost €15,000-€20,000 but potentially increase property value by €20,000-€25,000.
Renovation Potential: The derelict status implies extensive refurbishment is required, with potential costs for structural repairs, insulation upgrades, and modernising services likely exceeding €50,000.
Space Efficiency: The property offers 120m² across 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, which is a common configuration, but the derelict state means the usable space will need significant investment to match modern standards.
Hypothesis: Given the property's derelict state and 'BER_PENDING' rating, the core value lies in its land and potential for a complete rebuild or extensive renovation; the current €60,000 asking price, while appearing high relative to nearby sales of completed properties, might be justified if the land value and the potential to create a modern, energy-efficient home from scratch are factored in, but this requires a detailed structural survey.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: Specific bus routes, train stations, Luas stops, or DART stations serving Derryvode, Williamstown are not detailed in the provided data, suggesting potential reliance on private transport.
Basic Local Facilities: Details on specific schools, colleges, hospitals, pharmacies, shops, supermarkets, shopping centres, restaurants, cafes, parks, or gyms in Derryvode, Williamstown are absent, indicating a likely need to travel for most services.
Rural Setting Impact: The 'Outside Dublin' designation and lack of specific amenity data suggest a rural location where walkability and access to diverse lifestyle amenities are likely minimal, requiring car dependency.
Hypothesis: The absence of specific amenity data for Derryvode, Williamstown, suggests this is a rural area where local amenities are sparse; future infrastructure investment, such as improved public transport links or the development of a local community hub, would significantly boost property desirability and value, but currently, the lack of services presents a major drawback for buyers seeking convenience.
