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 Efficiency: With a B3 BER rating, this apartment will have lower annual energy costs compared to properties with lower ratings, potentially saving €600-€1,000 per year against a D-rated property of similar size.
Size Comparison: At 84m², this apartment is smaller than the average property size of 122m² sold within 1km over the past 180 days, suggesting a focus on premium location over expansive living space.
Value Optimization: Upgrading from a B3 to a B1/A BER rating, potentially costing €4,000-€7,000, could enhance its market appeal and marginally increase its resale value by an estimated €8,000-€12,000, capitalizing on increasing demand for high-efficiency homes.
Hypothesis: While the B3 BER is good, the prevalence of even higher BER ratings (A/B) in newer developments within 3km suggests that to maintain its premium, this property might need further energy efficiency upgrades within 5-7 years to align with evolving market expectations for sustainability.
Amenities
Transport Hub: Residents have excellent connectivity via the DART at Sandymount station (1.2km) and multiple Dublin Bus routes including the 7X and 46A within a 500m radius, facilitating direct access to Dublin city centre.
Prime Local Amenities: Within walking distance are high-end retail options on Merrion Row, supermarkets like Donnybrook Fair (1km), and healthcare facilities including the Mater Private Hospital (3km).
Educational Prestige: The property is situated near prestigious institutions such as St. Michael's College (1km), Blackrock College (3km), and Trinity College Dublin (3.5km), enhancing its appeal to families and professionals.
Hypothesis: The continued development of the Ballsbridge area, with planned upgrades to public spaces and potential new retail offerings, will further solidify its status as a prime residential location, driving rental yields and capital appreciation by an additional 5-7% over the next three years compared to less amenity-rich areas.
