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 Rating Impact: The E1 BER rating suggests potential for significant savings through upgrades; bringing this property to a B2 rating could cost approximately €10,000-€15,000, potentially increasing its value by €15,000-€20,000 and reducing annual energy costs by an estimated €1,000-€1,500 compared to its current E1 rating.
Size Efficiency: With 138m² of living space and 4 bedrooms, this property offers a good balance of room size and density, yielding a price per square meter of approximately €2,462 at asking price, which is higher than some recent local sales data.
Value Optimization Potential: The current asking price of €340,000 for an E1 rated 138m² property suggests a premium is being sought; addressing the BER could unlock better value, with a D2 rating potentially improving marketability by 5-8% before further upgrades.
Hypothesis: Given the E1 BER rating, a strategic investment of €10,000-€15,000 into insulation and heating upgrades could elevate the property's appeal and achieve a 5-7% higher sale price, justifying the current asking price or even achieving a slight uplift.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Foxford's connectivity is limited, with no specific bus routes, train stations, Luas, or DART stations mentioned as serving this immediate area, requiring reliance on private transport or limited local bus services.
Local Services Gap: The provided data does not specify any schools, healthcare facilities, or major shopping centers in the immediate vicinity of Hawthorn Hill, suggesting a need for travel to larger towns for essential services and amenities.
Walkability Challenges: Without specific details on local pedestrian infrastructure or nearby parks and cafes, walkability appears to be limited, likely necessitating vehicular travel for most daily needs and leisure activities.
Hypothesis: The lack of specific, readily available public transport and amenities within the immediate area of Foxford suggests that the property's value is more dependent on its specific location within the town and its individual features rather than broad area benefits.
