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 C2 Average: This property holds a C2 BER rating, which aligns with the median BER rating for properties in this category and price range.

Details
  • Generous Space: With 120m² and 3 bedrooms, this bungalow offers a size that is typical for family homes in the wider market, matching the median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms found within 100km.
  • Upgrade Opportunity: Improving the C2 BER rating to a B2 could potentially cost between €8,000-€12,000 and may increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, representing a sound investment for long-term energy efficiency and market appeal.
  • Hypothesis: While the C2 BER rating is mid-range, the substantial difference in asking price versus local sold prices suggests a potential value uplift is expected by the vendor, which could be realized through strategic energy efficiency upgrades that would not only improve the BER but also enhance the property's appeal and long-term running costs.

Amenities

Limited Public Transport: Specific bus routes, train stations, Luas or DART stations are not detailed for this specific rural location, indicating potential reliance on private transport.

Details
  • Local Services Sparse: The provided data does not list specific schools, clinics, shops, or lifestyle amenities in the immediate vicinity of Aughadown, Church Cross.
  • Family Services Unspecified: There is no information on specific childcare facilities or family services in the direct area, suggesting potential distance to such amenities.
  • Hypothesis: The absence of detailed public transport and specific local amenities in the provided data for Aughadown suggests that the property's value proposition is heavily reliant on its rural setting and potentially attracts buyers seeking tranquility over convenience, making its high asking price particularly dependent on intrinsic property features rather than location-based amenities.
