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
Moderate BER Efficiency: The C3 BER rating suggests potential for energy cost savings, with an estimated annual saving of €400-€600 compared to a D-rated property of similar size, though significant upgrades could yield higher savings.
Details
- Generous Living Space: At 176m², this bungalow offers a substantial living area, which is 27.9% larger than the median sale price size of 137.6m² within a 10km radius over the last 180 days, indicating good space efficiency for its configuration.
- Value Uplift Potential: Upgrading from a C3 BER to a B2 rating could cost approximately €6,000-€9,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €10,000-€15,000, representing a tangible return on investment.
- Hypothesis: While the C3 BER is adequate, the significant number of 3 and 4-bedroom properties with unknown BERs within 100km suggests a potential market gap for highly energy-efficient homes, making a focused upgrade to a B-rating a strategic move to capture a higher premium in this growing commuter belt area.
