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 Upgrade Potential: Upgrading the D2 BER rating to a B2 would likely cost between €8,000-€12,000 and could increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, representing a sound investment for improved comfort and marketability.
Details
- Compact but Functional: At 39m², this 2-bedroom apartment is compact, which is typical for its central Dublin 8 location, but may present challenges for those seeking ample living space or storage compared to the average 80m² property sold within 1km.
- Value Optimization Opportunity: Given the D2 BER, a strategic investment in insulation, window upgrades, and potentially a more efficient heating system could significantly improve energy efficiency and occupant comfort, boosting its appeal against higher-rated properties.
- Hypothesis: Investing €10,000 to achieve a B1 BER rating for this 39m² apartment, which currently has a D2 rating, would not only reduce annual energy bills by an estimated €1,000-€1,400 compared to similar D-rated properties but also position it to capture a 10-15% premium in sale price within the next two years.
Amenities
Excellent Transport Hub: Situated in The Coombe, residents have immediate access to Dublin Bus routes like the 123, 40, and 150, and are within walking distance (approx. 1km) of the Luas Red Line at Four Courts and Smithfield stops.
Details
- Prime Urban Access: The property is surrounded by a wealth of amenities, including the St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin Castle, and numerous cafes and restaurants on Camden Street and Wexford Street, all within a 1km radius.
- Walkable City Living: This location boasts exceptional walkability, with the River Liffey, Stephen's Green, and the heart of Dublin's cultural and commercial districts accessible within a 15-20 minute walk.
- Hypothesis: The density of educational facilities like DIT (TU Dublin) Bolton Street (1.5km), NCAD (1.2km), and numerous primary and secondary schools within a 2km radius, combined with excellent public transport links, supports a strong rental market, potentially yielding an annual return of 6-8% for investors even with the current BER rating.
