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 Improvement Opportunity: Upgrading the D2 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, representing a sound investment.
Energy Cost Variance: With a D2 BER rating, estimated annual energy costs are €1,800-€2,200, significantly higher than the €800-€1,200 for properties with a B2 rating in this size category.
Compact Living Space: The 72.0m² size is 21.4% smaller than the average property size of 91.45m² within a 1km radius over 180 days, suggesting a more compact living arrangement than the typical local offering.
Hypothesis: The D2 BER rating, while common in the immediate vicinity (100% BER unknown), represents a significant opportunity for value enhancement; investing in energy efficiency upgrades would not only reduce running costs but also strongly appeal to buyers seeking modern, sustainable homes.
Amenities
Excellent Transport Hub: Located near Dublin Bus routes 25, 66, and 67, offering direct access to Dublin city centre and surrounding areas.
Local Educational Access: Proximity to Rathfarnham Parish National School and Loreto High School, both within a 1km walking distance, catering well to family needs.
Retail and Green Space: Close to Rathfarnham Shopping Centre for daily needs and Loreto Park and Marlay Park for recreation, enhancing lifestyle appeal.
Hypothesis: The strong connectivity and abundance of local amenities in Rathfarnham, combined with its status as a desirable residential area, suggest that properties with modest price points and potential for BER upgrades will continue to see sustained demand and value growth.
