Data Sources
Data Sources and Attribution
Vestcove draws on publicly available registers and licensed third-party content to produce property scorecards. This page documents the external sources we currently use in Ireland, the role each source plays in our underwriting model, and the basis on which we use and attribute each source.
Our outputs are informational underwriting evidence. They do not constitute a formal valuation, legal or tax advice, or a recommendation to buy or sell. Source values are reproduced from the upstream publisher, and Vestcove is not the publisher of any of the underlying datasets. If you believe a record we display should be corrected or removed, please contact the original publisher or write to privacy@vestcove.com.

Property Price Register (PSRA)
ie:ppr:allResidential sale-transaction history, used for comparable selection in the fair-value seed on every property scorecard.
Legal basis: Public statutory register
Sale-transaction history is sourced from the Property Price Register, published by the Property Services Regulatory Authority. Vestcove cleans and filters records but does not modify reported sale prices. The register is not a price index, and certain records (non-full-market or VAT-exclusive sales) are excluded from comparable selection.
CSO RIQ02: Average Monthly Rent Report
ie:cso:riq02Area-level rent context observations, used as a benchmark alongside property-level evidence where available.
Legal basis: Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC-BY 4.0)

RTB Data Hub: RTB/ESRI Rent Index
ie:rtb:rent-indexAggregate tenancy-level rent context published quarterly by the Residential Tenancies Board. Used as a market benchmark, not as property-specific rent.

RTB Rent Register
ie:rtb:rent-registerProperty-level rent comparable evidence drawn from registered tenancies near a property, matched by Eircode, bed count, dwelling type, floor area, and BER.
Legal basis: Used with the publisher's permission
Property-level rent comparable evidence is sourced from the Residential Tenancies Board's public Rent Register and aggregated before display. Underlying tenancy identifiers are not reproduced on customer-visible surfaces. The Residential Tenancies Board has been notified of Vestcove's use of the Rent Register; please contact us if you operate this source and would like to discuss our use.
SEAI: Building Energy Rating
ie:seai:berProperty-level energy evidence and area-level energy context. Listing-derived BER claims are treated as lower-confidence than certificate-backed matches.
Legal basis: CC-BY 4.0 for research extracts; public register for individual lookups
Building Energy Rating evidence is sourced from the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland's public BER Register. Listing-derived BER claims are labelled and treated as lower-confidence until a register-backed match is attached.

Source operator policy
If you operate one of the sources listed above and would like Vestcove to adjust the cadence at which we read your source, refine the attribution shown to our users, or pause ingestion, please contact privacy@vestcove.com. We respond within five business days and apply confirmed changes as promptly as our operational schedule allows. Vestcove maintains rate limits beneath each publisher's stated thresholds, caches retrieved pages to minimise repeated requests, and can disable any source on a per-market basis.
Personal data and pseudonymous identifiers. Where a source record contains identifiers that could refer to an individual (for example tenancy identifiers in the Residential Tenancies Board Rent Register), Vestcove does not reproduce those identifiers on customer-visible surfaces. We aggregate the underlying records and apply a minimum-aggregation threshold before any derived figure is displayed. The legal basis for this processing is explained in our Privacy Notice.
