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 Efficiency: The B3 BER rating means annual energy costs are likely between €1,300-€1,700, compared to €1,800-€2,200 for a D-rated property of similar size.
Upgrade Opportunity: Improving from a B3 to a B2 or A3 BER rating could cost approximately €3,000-€6,000 in insulation and heating upgrades, potentially increasing property value by €5,000-€8,000.
Efficient Space Utilisation: The 90m² size for a 3-bed, 3-bath semi-detached home offers a good space-to-room ratio, maximising utility for family living.
Hypothesis: Given the B3 BER, a targeted investment in smart home technology and further insulation could push the rating to A3, creating a strong selling point and potentially recouping 150-200% of the upgrade cost in enhanced market appeal and energy savings.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: While not directly on a train line, Maynooth Station (approx. 3km) provides Dublin City Centre access, complemented by Dublin Bus routes 66 and 67 serving the general Maynooth area for commuter travel.
Educational Hub: The area is well-served by educational institutions including Maynooth University, Confey Community College, and St. Mary's Boys National School, all within a short drive or bus ride.
Local Retail & Leisure: Shopping options include Carton Square Shopping Centre and local high street retailers in Maynooth, while Carton House offers extensive parkland and leisure facilities.
Hypothesis: The strategic location near Maynooth University and its associated amenities, coupled with improving transport links to Dublin, suggests that properties in Straffan Wood could see increased demand from a younger professional demographic seeking a balance between suburban life and city access.
