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 Opportunity: Upgrading the D1 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 but potentially increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, presenting a clear investment opportunity.
Size Advantage: With 117.0m² of living space, this 4-bedroom detached house offers ample room, exceeding the median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms prevalent in the 100km radius market over 180 days.
Configuration Mismatch: The property's single bathroom is a notable deficiency for a 4-bedroom detached house, as the median for comparable properties within 100km over 180 days shows 2 bathrooms, potentially impacting buyer appeal and re-sale value.
Hypothesis: The current D1 BER rating, while below average for newly developed properties, suggests a significant opportunity for value uplift through targeted energy efficiency upgrades, potentially transforming a significant cost center into a capital appreciation driver, especially given the premium placed on energy-conscious homes.
Amenities
Transport Links: Douglas is served by multiple bus routes, including Dublin Bus routes 206 and 216 which provide access to Cork City Centre, and it is a short drive to the Dunkettle Interchange for national road networks.
Local Conveniences: The property is situated near Douglas Village Shopping Centre, offering a variety of retail outlets, supermarkets like Dunnes Stores and SuperValu, and numerous cafes and restaurants such as The Lemon Leaf Cafe and Costa Coffee.
Educational Hub: Within close proximity are several well-regarded educational institutions, including Scoil an Spioraid Naoimh (primary), Douglas Community School (secondary), and it's a manageable commute to University College Cork (UCC).
Hypothesis: The established infrastructure and amenity rich environment of Douglas, combined with its proximity to Cork City, suggests that despite the property's D1 BER rating, its location offers a strong value proposition that could withstand minor market fluctuations and attract long-term resident demand due to its comprehensive local services.
