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
Energy Efficiency: Moderate BER rating impact
The SI_666 BER rating suggests potential for energy cost savings of approximately €400-€600 annually compared to G-rated properties of similar size, but significant upgrades to an A or B rating could cost €10,000-€15,000 and increase value by €15,000-€20,000.
Space Utilization: Efficient apartment design
With 78m² spread across 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the property offers a reasonable space efficiency ratio of approximately 39m² per habitable room.
Value Optimization: BER upgrade potential
Investing in BER upgrades from SI_666 towards a C rating could cost €6,000-€9,000 and potentially add €8,000-€12,000 to the property's market value, representing a tangible return on investment.
Hypothesis: BER as a value differentiator
Hypothesis: Given the prevalence of SI_666 BER ratings in the immediate 1km radius (indicated by nearby_properties_count_within_1km of 1,379), properties achieving a B or A BER rating could command a 5-10% premium on sale price, making targeted energy efficiency upgrades a key value-add strategy for sellers.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Direct commuter links
The property is served by Dublin Bus routes 109 and 109A, providing direct links to Dublin City Centre, and is approximately a 15-minute walk to Drogheda train station, which offers regular commuter services.

Hypothesis: Drogheda's revitalisation potential
Hypothesis: The ongoing infrastructure improvements in Drogheda, including potential future public transport enhancements, coupled with its proximity to Dublin, suggest that areas like St. Catherine's could see a 5-8% increase in property values over the next 3-5 years, driven by improved commuter appeal and local regeneration projects.
