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 Rating Upgrade Opportunity: Upgrading the C1 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 but could increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, offering a positive return on investment.
Details
- Generous Living Space: With 223.0m² across 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, this property offers more space than the median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms found within a 100km radius.
- Energy Cost Comparison: A C1 BER rating implies annual energy costs of approximately €1,500-€2,000, compared to €800-€1,200 for similar-sized properties with an A2 BER, indicating potential savings of €700-€1,000 annually for a higher-rated home.
- Hypothesis: The C1 BER rating, while not poor, represents a tangible opportunity for value enhancement. Investing in a BER upgrade to B2 or higher could not only yield immediate cost savings for the owner but also significantly improve the property's market appeal and resale value in a region where energy efficiency is increasingly becoming a key purchasing factor.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport Access: Fountainstown is not directly served by specific Dublin Bus, Luas, or DART routes, and the nearest train station would likely be in Carrigaline (approx. 10km away), implying reliance on private transport for commuting.
Details
- Local Services Availability: The area offers proximity to amenities such as the restaurants and shops in Crosshaven village, and healthcare facilities like the South Infirmary-Victoria University Hospital are accessible in Cork City (approx. 20km away).
- Coastal Lifestyle Appeal: The property's location on Coast Road in Fountainstown offers direct access to coastal walks and recreational activities, appealing to lifestyle buyers valuing proximity to the sea.
- Hypothesis: While Fountainstown offers a desirable coastal lifestyle, its limited public transport connectivity is a significant factor for potential buyers commuting to Cork City. Future infrastructure investment in public transport links or improved road access could dramatically enhance the property's value and appeal to a wider demographic.
