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 Upgrade Potential: With a C1 BER rating, potential upgrades to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000, with an associated property value increase of €15,000-€20,000, presenting a clear return on investment.
Space Efficiency: At 93.0m², this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment offers a good balance of living space, providing approximately 46.5m² per bedroom, which is competitive for apartment living in the Dublin area.
Value Optimization: While the current BER is C1, focusing on insulation and efficient heating systems could lead to annual energy cost savings of €200-€300 compared to D-rated properties of similar size in the vicinity.
Hypothesis: The property's size and configuration (93m², 2 bed, 2 bath) aligns well with the typical 1km median sale price for apartments of a 'same type' (€324,000), but its C1 BER rating may be a limiting factor compared to properties with higher energy efficiency, suggesting that investing in BER improvements would directly enhance its market appeal and valuation.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Located on Malahide Road, Swords, this property benefits from proximity to Dublin Bus routes including the 41, 43, and 102, providing direct access to Dublin Airport and Dublin City Centre, and is approximately a 10-minute drive to Malahide DART station.
Local Lifestyle Hub: The area offers a wealth of amenities, including the Pavilions Shopping Centre for retail therapy, a variety of restaurants like Gourmet Burger Kitchen, and family-friendly parks such as Swords Castle grounds, all within a short drive or bus ride.
Healthcare and Education Access: Residents have convenient access to the HSE Primary Care Centre in Swords, and are within a reasonable distance to Beaumont Hospital. Nearby educational facilities include Holywell Educate Together National School and St. Finian's Community College.
Hypothesis: The development of the Swords Express bus service, offering high-frequency commuter routes to Dublin City, combined with the planned expansion of local infrastructure around the town centre, is likely to further enhance the desirability and property values in this Swords locale over the next 3-5 years, particularly for well-connected apartment complexes.
