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

- —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
Significant BER upgrade opportunity: The 'SI_666' BER rating is not a recognized standard and implies an unknown or very poor energy efficiency, likely costing €10,000-€15,000 to upgrade to a C or B rating, which could increase property value by €18,000-€25,000.
Details
- Adequate size for the area: At 120m², this semi-detached property is of a standard size for the Kilmacow area, aligning with the median 3-bedroom configuration observed in the 10km radius, offering good space for a family.
- Value optimization potential: Given the unknown BER, investing in energy efficiency upgrades (e.g., insulation, new windows) could cost €8,000-€12,000 and potentially add €15,000-€20,000 to the property's market value, improving its appeal and long-term holding costs.
- Hypothesis: The 'SI_666' BER rating represents a significant undervaluation of the property's potential. A strategic investment in energy efficiency upgrades, costing approximately €10,000-€15,000, could unlock a substantial return on investment, estimated at €18,000-€25,000 in enhanced market value and reduced running costs, transforming it from a potential liability to a strong asset.
Amenities
Limited direct public transport: There are no specific bus routes, train stations, Luas, or DART stations directly serving Upper Kilmacow, Kilmacow, Co. Kilkenny; travel to major transport hubs would likely require private transport or infrequent local services.
Details
- Essential services within driving distance: While specific amenities like supermarkets or restaurants are not detailed, Kilmacow village itself typically offers local shops and services, with larger retail centres and healthcare facilities requiring travel to nearby towns like Waterford City.
- Rural connectivity and local services: The property's location in Kilmacow suggests access to local community resources and potentially a quieter lifestyle, though significant shopping, healthcare, and diverse dining options would be found in larger centres such as Waterford City, approximately 15-20 minutes drive away.
- Hypothesis: The location's primary appeal lies in its rural setting, necessitating reliance on private vehicles for accessing broader amenities. Development in the coming years, such as improved local infrastructure or new transport links, could significantly enhance its attractiveness and valuation, making it a strategic long-term hold if such improvements materialize.
