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 Improvement Opportunity: Upgrading this C1 BER rated apartment to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase its market value by €15,000-€20,000, offering a clear return on investment.
Details
- Spacious Living: At 74.0m², this apartment is 14m² larger than the average property size of 60m² within a 1km radius, providing a more comfortable living space for buyers.
- Configuration Match: The 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms align with the median configuration of 3 beds and 2 baths within 1km over 90 days, but the smaller bedroom count might limit appeal to larger families.
- Hypothesis: The consistent 100% BER unknown percentage across all radii over 90 and 180 days indicates a significant data gap, suggesting that a proactive approach to obtaining detailed energy audits and presenting clear upgrade pathways for properties like this C1 could capture a premium from energy-conscious buyers and investors looking for tangible value optimization.
Amenities
Transport Links: The property is well-served by Dublin Bus routes 25A, 66, and 67, providing direct access to Dublin city centre and surrounding areas.
Details
- Local Conveniences: Residents have easy access to essential amenities including The Square Shopping Centre in Tallaght for retail therapy, and HSE Primary Care Centre Rathcoole for healthcare.
- Family Focus: Proximity to Scoil naomh Lorcán (primary school, 800m) and Rathcoole Park (1km) offers convenience for families with young children and access to green space.
- Hypothesis: While public transport is adequate, the absence of a nearby Luas or DART station within a 5km radius, combined with the reliance on bus routes that can be subject to traffic congestion, suggests that properties in this specific Rathcoole location are currently valued more for their suburban quietude and larger living spaces than for rapid, predictable commuter access, potentially limiting long-term capital appreciation compared to areas directly on major rail lines.
