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 Deficit: The E2 BER rating indicates a significant opportunity for improvement, with estimated upgrade costs from E2 to B2 potentially ranging from €10,000 to €15,000, which could increase the property's value by €18,000 to €25,000 based on local market premiums for better energy efficiency.
Details
- Space Efficiency: With 190m² of living space and 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, this property offers a generous 47.5m² per bedroom, exceeding the 1km radius average property size of 143.88m² and the median 3-bedroom configuration.
- Value Optimization Opportunity: The current BER rating of E2 suggests annual energy costs could be approximately €1,900-€2,500, whereas a B2 rating could reduce this to €900-€1,300, representing annual savings of €1,000-€1,200 and a significant return on investment for upgrades.
- Hypothesis: The stark E2 BER rating, coupled with the 100% of properties having unknown BER ratings in the 1km radius over the last 180 days, points to a market where energy efficiency is not yet a primary valuation driver but represents a substantial, untapped opportunity for future value appreciation and immediate cost savings for a proactive buyer.
Amenities
Exceptional Transport Hub: This property benefits from excellent connectivity with multiple Dublin Bus routes, including numbers 14, 15A, 15B, 49, and 65, servicing Rathmines Road, and is a short walk to the Luas Green Line at Beechwood or Ranelagh stops.
Details
- Prime Lifestyle Access: Residents are within walking distance to a wealth of amenities, including the diverse retail offerings of Rathmines, supermarkets like Tesco and Lidl, and a vibrant culinary scene with restaurants such as Farmer Brown's and Stella Cinema.
- Family and Educational Hub: The area is well-served by educational facilities, including Rathmines College, St. Louis Primary School, and St. Mary's College, alongside childcare options like Bright Sparks Montessori, fostering a family-friendly environment.
- Hypothesis: The strong walkability score, exemplified by direct pedestrian access to the shops and cafes of Rathmines and proximity to major transport arteries like Rathmines Road, combined with the concentration of family-oriented amenities and schools, positions this property to benefit from increasing demand for urban living that balances convenience with lifestyle, potentially commanding a sustained premium.
