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.

Local Market Notes
Property Quality
BER Upgrade Opportunity: With an 'F' BER rating, upgrading this 157m² property to a 'B2' could cost an estimated €15,000-€25,000, potentially increasing its value by €20,000-€35,000 and reducing annual energy costs from an estimated €2,500-€3,500 to €1,000-€1,800.
Details
- Generous Proportions: At 157m² with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, this semi-detached property offers significantly more space than the median 3-bedroom properties typically found within the 10km radius, appealing to families seeking larger homes.
- Investment for Efficiency: The current low BER rating presents a clear opportunity for a strategic investment in energy efficiency, which would not only enhance the property's marketability but also provide substantial long-term savings on utility bills.
- Hypothesis: The 'F' BER rating, while a initial drawback, creates a distinct value-add opportunity, attracting savvy buyers seeking a renovation project who can leverage grants and financing for energy upgrades, ultimately realizing a higher capital gain upon completion.
