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 C1 Efficiency: With a C1 BER rating, annual energy costs are estimated between €1,200-€1,600, significantly lower than older D-rated properties in the area (estimated €1,800-€2,200 annually).
Upgrade Potential: Upgrading from a C1 to a B2 BER rating could cost approximately €7,000-€10,000, potentially increasing property value by €12,000-€18,000.
Size Competitiveness: The 96m² size for a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom townhouse is standard for this type of property in the Skerries area.
Hypothesis: While the C1 BER is acceptable, investing in energy efficiency upgrades like improved insulation and a more efficient heating system, costing around €7,000, could unlock an immediate 2-3% increase in market appeal and value, particularly given the average B-rated BER of comparable properties recently sold within 1km.
Amenities
Transport Access: Skerries is served by Dublin Bus routes 33, 33a, and 33b, providing direct links to Dublin City Centre, and the Skerries train station offers frequent DART services.
Local Essentials: Residents have easy access to a range of shops including Tesco, local boutiques, and pharmacies like Skerries Pharmacy, all within a 1km walk.
Family & Leisure: The area boasts numerous family-friendly amenities such as Skerries Educate Together National School (500m), Skerries Community College (800m), and the beautiful Skerries Mills and local parks.
Hypothesis: The strong connectivity via the Skerries train station, which is approximately 800m away, combined with the number of families and the presence of multiple schools (including one within 500m), suggests a premium of 5-7% for properties within easy walking distance of these key family and commuter hubs.
