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
Energy Efficiency Advantage: With an A2 BER rating, this property's annual energy costs are estimated to be €800-€1,200, significantly lower than the €1,800-€2,200 typical for D-rated properties of similar size, saving €1,000-€1,400 annually.
Details
- Spacious Configuration: The 156m² size with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms offers excellent space efficiency, aligning well with family needs and likely exceeding the average configuration in the immediate area.
- Value Optimization Potential: Maintaining the A2 BER rating preserves the property's modern appeal and energy cost benefits, ensuring its value is protected against the increasing costs associated with less efficient homes.
- Hypothesis: Given the A2 BER rating and the prevalence of older stock in the wider Dublin 16 area, a targeted upgrade of a D-rated property (average cost €8,000-€12,000) to a B2 rating could yield a property value increase of €15,000-€20,000, making strategic BER improvements a consistent driver of value appreciation in this market.
Amenities
Excellent Transport Connectivity: The area is served by Dublin Bus routes 175 and 65, providing direct access to Dundrum Town Centre and UCD respectively.
Details
- Comprehensive Local Services: Residents have convenient access to essential amenities including SuperValu Churchtown, Rathfarnham Shopping Centre, and Tallaght University Hospital within a short drive.
- Family-Friendly Environment: The property is within proximity to excellent educational facilities such as St. Mary's Boys National School (700m) and Loreto Beaufort (1.2km), along with numerous local parks like Marlay Park.
- Hypothesis: The strategic location of Scholarstown Wood, benefiting from improved public transport links like the 175 bus route connecting to major educational and retail hubs, combined with the ongoing residential development in Dublin 16, is likely to drive increased demand and a property value uplift of 5-8% over the next 2-3 years for properties with high BER ratings.
