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 Investment Opportunity: With a C2 BER rating, upgrading to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000.
Details
- Generous Space Allocation: The 251m² size with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms provides a good space-to-bed ratio, aligning with the '2X Very Large' size category and offering ample living area.
- Value Optimization Potential: Considering the asking price is €111,475.19 below the estimated value, there is immediate potential to optimize value through targeted improvements and strategic marketing, rather than essential repairs.
- Hypothesis: The C2 BER rating, while not poor, represents a tangible opportunity for capital appreciation through energy efficiency upgrades. Future buyers may be increasingly discerning, and a proactive upgrade to a B-rated or higher could differentiate this property significantly in the long term, especially given the growing emphasis on sustainable living and lower running costs.
Amenities
Limited Local Transport: Gerahies, Bantry is a rural location with no specific bus routes, train stations, Luas, or DART stops listed within the immediate vicinity, indicating a reliance on private transport.
Details
- Local Services Accessibility: While specific local amenities like schools or shops are not detailed in the provided data for Gerahies, Bantry, typical rural areas require travel to Bantry town (approximately 10km away) for comprehensive retail, healthcare, and educational facilities.
- Rural Connectivity Focus: The property's location in Gerahies, Bantry, suggests a focus on rural lifestyle amenities rather than urban conveniences; access to services will likely require journeys to the nearest town, Bantry.
- Hypothesis: The lack of readily available public transport and specified local services in Gerahies suggests that the property's value is heavily influenced by its secluded natural setting and proximity to Bantry town. Future infrastructure development or improved public transport links to this specific rural hub could significantly enhance its long-term appeal and value proposition for a wider buyer demographic.
