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.

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
Superior Energy Efficiency: With an excellent A2 BER rating, this 212m² property boasts estimated annual energy costs of just €800-€1,200, representing substantial savings of €1,000-€1,400 annually compared to a typical D-rated property of similar size which would incur €1,800-€2,200.
Details
- Generous Space & Layout: At 212m² with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, this detached property is classified as '2X Very Large' and offers a highly desirable configuration of one bathroom per bedroom, indicating premium functionality and spacious living well above the local median of 3 beds and 2.5-3 baths in the 5km-10km radii.
