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 Advantage: With a B2 BER rating, this property is positioned well above the national average and is likely to incur annual energy costs of approximately €1,400-€1,800, compared to €2,000-€2,500 for a D-rated property of similar size.
Generous Proportions: The property offers 215m² of living space across 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, indicating a good balance for family living or accommodating guests.
Value Optimization: While the BER is good, optimizing from B2 to A-rated could cost approximately €6,000-€10,000 and potentially add €10,000-€15,000 to the property's value, representing a sound investment.
Hypothesis: Given the B2 BER rating, the property likely incorporates modern insulation and heating systems; further analysis into the age and efficiency of these specific components could reveal opportunities for targeted upgrades that yield disproportionately high energy savings and capital appreciation.
Amenities
Transport Links: The property's location in Schull, Lowertown, Co. Cork, P81HY26 is primarily served by local road networks, with the nearest significant public transport likely requiring travel to larger towns for bus services such as Bus Éireann routes, but no specific routes are identified in the provided data.
Local Services: Access to specific shopping, healthcare, and educational facilities requires further investigation into the amenities of Schull and nearby villages, as no specific names were provided in the raw data.
Connectivity Assessment: The property is situated outside a major urban center, implying a greater reliance on private transport for access to a wider range of amenities and services.
Hypothesis: The relative isolation of this rural property suggests that its appeal is primarily to buyers seeking a quieter lifestyle, and its value appreciation will be more closely tied to local community development and infrastructure improvements (e.g., enhanced local broadband, improved road access) rather than urban-centric transport links.
