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: The G BER rating necessitates significant upgrades; a move to a C2 rating would likely cost €15,000-€20,000 but could increase the property's value by €25,000-€30,000.
Details
- Compact Living Space: At 64.0m², this cottage is relatively small, particularly for a 3-bedroom property, potentially impacting its appeal and perceived value compared to larger homes in the vicinity.
- Significant Upgrade Required: The G BER rating indicates substantial energy inefficiency, with estimated annual energy costs likely exceeding €2,500-€3,000, compared to €1,000-€1,500 for a C-rated property of similar size.
- Hypothesis: The current G BER rating represents a significant undervaluation risk, and strategic investment in insulation and heating upgrades, potentially costing €15,000-€20,000, could unlock a substantial value uplift and attract buyers seeking energy efficiency.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: There are no specific bus routes, train stations, Luas, or DART stations mentioned as serving the Foildarrig, Cappawhite area directly within the provided data, indicating reliance on private transport.
Details
- Rural Service Access: Access to essential services like healthcare and retail is likely limited in the immediate vicinity, with residents likely needing to travel to larger towns such as Tipperary or Limerick for comprehensive amenities.
- Low Walkability Score: The property's rural location in Foildarrig suggests low walkability, with limited pedestrian infrastructure and likely requiring car travel for most errands and services.
- Hypothesis: The lack of readily available public transport and distant amenity access for Foildarrig Cottage suggests that its future value appreciation will be heavily dependent on localized infrastructure development or improved road connectivity to larger service hubs.
