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 Energy Cost Gap: With a D1 BER rating, annual energy costs are estimated between €1,800-€2,200; upgrading to a B2 BER could cost €8,000-€12,000 but potentially increase property value by €15,000-€20,000.
Space Efficiency: The 78m² size for a 3-bedroom semi-detached property is on the smaller side for the Dublin market, potentially impacting comfort and perceived value compared to larger alternatives.
Value Optimization Potential: The D1 BER rating suggests significant scope for energy efficiency improvements which, if undertaken, could unlock a €15,000-€20,000 uplift in property value with an investment of €8,000-€12,000.
Hypothesis: While the D1 BER rating presents an immediate cost for energy upgrades, a strategic investment in insulation, heating systems, and window replacements, costing an estimated €8,000-€12,000, could improve the BER to B2 and realistically add €15,000-€20,000 to the property's market value, turning a perceived weakness into a profit opportunity.
Amenities
Transport Hub Access: This property is well-served by Dublin Bus routes 27, 42, and 123, offering direct access to Dublin city centre and surrounding areas, and is approximately 2.5km from the Killester DART station.
