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 C1 Advantage: The C1 BER rating suggests moderate energy efficiency, with potential annual energy savings of €400-€700 compared to a D-rated property of similar size, though significant savings would be achieved by upgrading to A or B ratings.
Details
- Space Efficiency: At 59m², this 2-bedroom detached property is on the smaller side compared to the average property size of 67.7m² within a 1km radius over the last 180 days, indicating a compact but potentially efficient layout.
- Upgrade Opportunity: While not possessing a high BER, strategic upgrades to improve insulation and heating could cost €6,000-€10,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €10,000-€15,000 and enhancing its appeal in a market where BER ratings are increasingly valued.
- Hypothesis: Given the prevalence of apartments (56.6%) in the 1km radius market over the last 180 days, this detached 2-bedroom property, despite its size, may hold a premium for buyers seeking private dwellings, and its C1 BER rating, while not top-tier, places it favourably against the 100% BER unknown listings in the immediate vicinity over the same period, suggesting a potential for value appreciation through targeted energy efficiency improvements.
Amenities
Transport Links: The area is served by multiple Dublin Bus routes including the 17, 38, and 38A, offering direct access to the city centre and surrounding suburbs, with the nearest Luas stop (Green Line, Charlestown) approximately 2km away.
Details
- Local Services: Residents have convenient access to theCharlestown Shopping Centre, which includes a SuperValu, pharmacies, and various retail outlets, all within a 1.5km radius.
- Educational Proximity: The property is within catchment for St. Kevin's Boys National School and Beneavin College, both located within 1km, offering accessible educational facilities for families.
- Hypothesis: The strong public transport network, highlighted by the frequent Dublin Bus routes servicing Finglas and its proximity to a major shopping centre, combined with established educational institutions, suggests that properties in this area are well-positioned to attract families and commuters, potentially driving continued demand and value growth, especially as further infrastructure developments like potential future Luas extensions are considered.
