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: Upgrading the D2 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €15,000-€20,000 based on local comparisons with better-rated properties.
Space Efficiency: At 140m², the bungalow offers a comfortable living space, aligning well with the typical size expectations for a 3-bedroom property in this area, but without significant surplus square footage for the price point.
Value Optimization Potential: While the property has a D2 BER, focusing on targeted energy efficiency upgrades could unlock significant value, potentially reducing estimated annual energy costs from €1,800-€2,200 to €800-€1,200, making it more competitive.
Hypothesis: Given the prevalence of D2 BER ratings for bungalows in this segment, a strategic investment in insulation and heating upgrades, costing €8,000-€12,000, could position this property as a premium offering, fetching a 5-10% higher price than comparable D-rated homes.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: The property is well-served by Bus Eireann routes 205 and 208, providing direct access to Cork city centre, and is within a reasonable distance to Kent Station for national rail links.
Educational and Healthcare Hub: Proximity to University College Cork (UCC), Cork Institute of Technology (CIT), Cork University Hospital, and Bon Secours Hospital offers excellent educational and healthcare access for residents.
Retail and Leisure Access: Close to Bishopstown Court Shopping Centre, Dunnes Stores, and a variety of restaurants and cafes along the Bandon Road, offering convenient shopping and dining options.
Hypothesis: The strategic location in Bishopstown, a well-established residential and educational hub with strong public transport links to Cork city and major institutions like UCC and CUH, supports a sustained demand for family homes and rental properties, thereby underpinning property values.
