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 B3 Advantage: The B3 BER rating offers a significant advantage, with estimated annual energy costs of €1,100-€1,500 compared to €2,000-€2,500 for properties with a D rating of similar size.
Space Efficiency: At 45m², this 1-bedroom apartment is smaller than the average property size of 83.5m² within a 1km radius, but its configuration is typical for urban apartment living.
Value Optimization Opportunity: While the BER is B3, a targeted upgrade to B1 or A3 could cost €5,000-€8,000 and potentially increase property value by €10,000-€15,000, offering a clear return on investment.
Hypothesis: The B3 BER rating represents a good baseline, but the prevalence of 2-bedroom apartments (median 2.0 beds within 1km) suggests that for long-term capital growth, a future expansion or reconfiguration of similar properties to include a second bedroom could unlock significant value appreciation, provided planning permits are obtainable.
Amenities
Prime Transport Hub: Excellent connectivity with the Luas Red Line at Heuston stop (under 500m) and multiple Dublin Bus routes including 25A, 60, 79, and 79A serving St John's Road West.

Vibrant Local Lifestyle: Enjoy proximity to numerous cafes and restaurants in The Digital Hub area, as well as the green spaces of Phoenix Park just a short walk away.
Hypothesis: The Heuston South Quarter's strategic location, offering direct Luas access and proximity to major employment and educational hubs like St. James's Hospital and NCAD, positions it as a highly desirable rental investment and a strong growth area, especially with the ongoing development of the area which may attract further amenities and transport upgrades.
