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: With a G BER rating, significant investment is required for energy efficiency upgrades, with estimated costs to reach a B2 rating ranging from €8,000 to €12,000, potentially increasing property value by €15,000 to €20,000.
Energy Cost Differential: A G-rated property of this size likely incurs annual energy costs of €2,500-€3,500, significantly higher than the €900-€1,300 for a B-rated home in the vicinity.
Size Efficiency: At 149m², the property offers a substantial living space with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, which is generally well-configured for family living but is large relative to the very limited number of nearby sales.
Hypothesis: The poor BER rating presents a substantial opportunity for value enhancement; properties with upgraded energy efficiency in this area are likely to command a premium, as buyers become increasingly aware of long-term running costs, potentially turning an initial investment into a significant capital gain.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: This property is located outside of major urban transport hubs; residents would rely on local bus services, with no specific routes or stations mentioned as serving Inch, Stradbally, Vicarstown directly within the provided data.
Limited Local Services: Specific local amenities such as schools, shops, parks, or healthcare facilities within a defined radius are not detailed in the provided data, making it difficult to assess lifestyle convenience.
Walkability Constraints: Without specific information on pedestrian infrastructure or local shops and services within walking distance, walkability for daily errands is likely to be limited.
Hypothesis: The lack of detailed amenity data and clear public transport links suggests this property is situated in a more rural setting where private vehicle reliance is high; therefore, its appeal will be strongly dependent on the buyer's preference for a quieter, more secluded lifestyle rather than urban convenience.
