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 C1 BER rating could cost €10,000-€15,000 but potentially increase property value by €20,000-€25,000, aligning it with more energy-efficient neighbours and offering annual savings of €500-€800 compared to D-rated properties.
Generous Living Space: With 203m² spread across 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, this detached property offers ample living space, exceeding the typical size for many properties sold within a 1km radius where the median price per sqm is €4,558.
Value Optimization Potential: The current asking price of €850,000 for a 203m² C1 BER property presents an opportunity for value optimization through targeted energy efficiency upgrades that could enhance its market appeal and long-term value.
Hypothesis: While the C1 BER offers moderate efficiency, significant value uplift and market competitiveness could be achieved by investing in a targeted upgrade to a B2 rating, potentially costing €8,000-€12,000, which is estimated to yield a capital gain of €15,000-€20,000 by reducing annual energy costs from €1,500-€2,000 to €900-€1,300 and improving its appeal against newer builds.
Amenities
Connectivity Hub: The property is served by Dublin Bus routes 25A, 66A, and 67, providing direct links to Dublin city centre and surrounding areas, while the nearby train station at Confey offers further commuter options.
Local Services Accessibility: Residents have convenient access to essential services with SuperValu Celbridge (2km) for groceries, and healthcare facilities like St. Raphael's Hospital (3km) in close proximity.
Family-Focused Environment: Proximity to Scoil na Mainistreach National School (1.5km) and Celbridge Community College (2km), alongside numerous playgrounds and parks like Castletown House (2.5km), caters to family needs.
Hypothesis: The strategic location in Celbridge, with its established transport links to Dublin and burgeoning local amenities, positions this property for continued appeal, particularly to families seeking a balance between suburban living and urban connectivity, which could see its value increase by 5-8% over the next three years if further infrastructural improvements are announced.
