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 Potential: Upgrading the D1 BER rating could cost €8,000-€12,000 but potentially increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, offering a strong return on investment.
Size Efficiency: The property's 105m² size is slightly below the average property size of 115.5m² within a 1km radius over the last 180 days, suggesting it's on the smaller side compared to typical sales.
Value Optimization: With 2 bathrooms for 3 bedrooms, the configuration is standard, but market data shows a median of 3 bathrooms in the 1km radius over 180 days, indicating a potential shortfall compared to local preferences.
Hypothesis: Given that 100% of properties listed in the last 30 days within 1km had unknown BER ratings, there's a significant market opportunity for properties with improved BERs, making the investment in an upgrade a strong differentiator.

Transport Links: Donabate is served by Dublin Bus routes 33, 41, and 101, and the Donabate Train Station provides commuter rail access to Dublin city centre.

Hypothesis: The ongoing infrastructure investment in the greater Dublin area, including potential future enhancements to public transport serving coastal towns like Donabate, suggests a growing appeal for properties offering a balance of suburban tranquility and city access.
