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 C2 Efficiency: A C2 BER rating suggests moderate energy efficiency, with potential annual energy cost savings of approximately €400-€600 compared to a D-rated property of similar size.
Cost-Effective Upgrades: Improving the BER from C2 to B2 could involve an investment of €7,000-€10,000 and potentially increase property value by €10,000-€15,000, offering a reasonable return on investment.
Spacious Family Home: The 239.0m² size, with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, is well-configured for family living and aligns with current market demand for larger homes.
Hypothesis: While the C2 BER rating is adequate, a strategic investment in insulation and heating upgrades, costing around €5,000, could elevate the rating to a B3, potentially unlocking an additional €7,000-€10,000 in market value and attracting a wider buyer pool.
Amenities
Limited Transport Connectivity: As Sherkin Island is accessible by ferry from Baltimore, there are no direct bus routes, train stations, Luas, or DART services serving the immediate property location.
Island Lifestyle Amenities: Local amenities on Sherkin Island include a few pubs, a shop, and a primary school, catering to a distinct island lifestyle rather than extensive retail or healthcare options.
Walkability on Island: While walkability is high on the island itself, access to mainland amenities requires ferry travel, impacting commute times and convenience for services like hospitals or wider shopping centers.
Hypothesis: The intrinsic remoteness of Sherkin Island, while offering unique lifestyle benefits, significantly limits access to mainland amenities and transport infrastructure, which will continue to be a primary factor in its property valuation compared to mainland Co. Cork properties.
