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 Upgrade Potential: Upgrading this G-rated bungalow to a B2 BER rating would likely cost between €15,000 - €25,000 but could increase its value by €25,000 - €35,000, representing a significant return on investment.
Energy Costs: With a G BER rating, annual energy costs for this 140m² bungalow are estimated to be in the range of €3,000 - €4,000, compared to €1,200 - €1,800 for a C-rated property of similar size, highlighting a substantial saving opportunity.
Value Optimization: The current estimated value is €496,986, but addressing the G BER rating through targeted insulation, window upgrades, and heating system improvements (estimated €15,000-€25,000) could unlock an additional €25,000-€35,000 in market value.
Hypothesis: Given the €496,986 estimated value and a G BER rating, the significant gap between its current energy performance and the market's increasing preference for sustainable homes indicates that an investment of €15,000-€25,000 in BER upgrades could not only offset immediate running costs but also position the property to capture a greater share of future capital appreciation.
