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.

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
Strong Energy Rating: With a B3 BER rating, this property boasts strong energy efficiency, potentially resulting in annual energy costs around €1,000-€1,500, a significant saving compared to €2,000-€2,500 for a D-rated property of similar size.
Expansive Living Space: At 273m² with 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, this detached home offers a significantly more expansive and luxurious living space compared to the median 3-4 bedroom and 2-3 bathroom properties sold within a 20km radius.
Square Meter Premium: The property's asking price translates to approximately €2,546 per square meter, significantly higher than its estimated market value of €1,978 per square meter, suggesting a considerable premium on its spaciousness.
Hypothesis: The property's combination of exceptional size, high bathroom count, and B3 BER rating positions it as a premium offering in the local market, likely appealing to a niche segment of buyers seeking luxury and efficiency, thus justifying its higher price point compared to average local homes.
