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 D1 BER rating suggests potential for significant energy cost savings. Upgrading to a B2 rating could cost €8,000-€12,000 but potentially increase property value by €15,000-€20,000.
Annual Energy Costs: With a D1 BER, estimated annual energy costs are likely €1,800-€2,200, compared to €800-€1,200 for a B-rated property of similar size.
Space Efficiency: The property offers 4 bedrooms and 1 bathroom within 109m², which is a relatively high density of bedrooms for the size, potentially impacting comfort for larger families or those seeking more living space.
Hypothesis: Investing in BER improvements from D1 to a C1/C2 rating, costing an estimated €5,000-€8,000, could offer a more immediate and cost-effective uplift in market appeal and energy efficiency compared to a full upgrade to B2.
