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 Improvement Potential: Upgrading the D1 BER rating to a B2 standard would likely cost between €8,000 and €12,000 but could increase the property's value by €15,000 to €20,000, presenting a tangible return on investment.
Energy Cost Discrepancy: A D1 BER rating likely results in annual energy costs of €1,800-€2,200, significantly higher than the €800-€1,200 expected for a comparable B-rated property in this size bracket.
Space Efficiency: With 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom in 85m², the property offers a reasonable configuration, but a more optimal layout could potentially enhance perceived value by €5,000-€10,000.
Hypothesis: The D1 BER rating represents a significant opportunity for value enhancement; buyers prioritizing energy efficiency could recoup upgrade costs and achieve market-leading energy savings, potentially making this property a more attractive long-term investment than its current listing price suggests.
Amenities
Connectivity Gap: While the location is outside Dublin, specific public transport details like bus routes, train stations, or Luas stops serving Church Hill, Ballyhooly are not provided, indicating limited immediate transport connectivity.
Limited Local Services: Specific details on educational facilities, healthcare access, shopping, or lifestyle amenities directly in Church Hill, Ballyhooly are absent from the provided data, suggesting a need for travel to access these.
Rural Setting: The property's location in Ballyhooly, Co. Cork, implies a reliance on private transport for most amenities, with limited walkability to essential services unless specific local clusters exist.
Hypothesis: The lack of specific amenity data for Church Hill, Ballyhooly suggests it is a rural or semi-rural area, meaning the property's value is heavily tied to its inherent qualities and the price of land, rather than local service provision, making future infrastructure developments key to value growth.
