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: The C1 BER rating suggests a baseline energy efficiency, with potential annual energy cost savings of approximately €500-€800 compared to a typical E-rated property of similar size in the area.
Space Efficiency: At 188sqm, this 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom detached property offers substantial living space, providing an average of 37.6sqm per bedroom, which is generous for family living.
Value Optimization: While the C1 BER is acceptable, upgrading to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €15,000-€20,000 and enhancing its market appeal and long-term desirability.
Hypothesis: The current asking price, combined with the C1 BER, positions this property as a pragmatic choice for buyers seeking space who are willing to undertake future energy efficiency upgrades, rather than paying a premium for already highly-rated homes that might be scarcer in this specific micro-location.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Lothea is served by multiple bus routes, including Dublin Bus routes 25, 66, and 67, providing direct access to Cork city centre.
Local Conveniences: Within a short drive, residents have access to numerous amenities including the shopping centres of Mahon Point and Douglas Village, a variety of restaurants in Douglas, and healthcare facilities like the Cork University Hospital.
Green Spaces and Recreation: The property is located near several parks and recreational areas, including Fitzgerald's Park and the Ring of Hollybrook nature reserve, offering ample opportunities for outdoor activities.
Hypothesis: The area's connectivity via key bus routes and proximity to major retail hubs like Mahon Point suggests a strong potential for property value appreciation as Cork city continues to expand, making this location attractive for both families and commuters seeking a balance between suburban tranquility and urban access.
