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: With an E BER rating, investing an estimated €8,000-€12,000 to upgrade to a B2 rating could increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000 and reduce annual energy costs by €1,000-€1,400 compared to a B-rated home.
Above Average Size: At 129m², this 4-bedroom semi-detached home offers substantial space, aligning perfectly with the average property size in the 5km radius and notably exceeding the average 112m² found within the immediate 1km area.
Modernisation Opportunity: While matching the 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom configuration common within the 1km radius, the E BER suggests potential for significant modernization beyond energy efficiency to meet contemporary buyer expectations, further enhancing its market appeal.
Hypothesis: The significant discrepancy between the property's E BER and the increasing buyer demand for energy-efficient homes in Killiney suggests that properties with lower ratings, once upgraded, will command a disproportionately higher premium, making this a prime candidate for value-add renovation.
Amenities
Strategic Commute: Excellent transport links include convenient access to Killiney DART station (approx. 2.5km) and Glenageary DART station, coupled with Dublin Bus routes 59 and 7A providing direct services to Dún Laoghaire, Dalkey, and Dublin City Centre, and the Luas Green Line at Cherrywood (approx. 3km).
Family-Centric Living: The area is well-served by reputable educational institutions such as Holy Child Killiney and Johnstown National Schools, alongside a range of local childcare facilities, making it highly attractive for families.
Vibrant Lifestyle & Care: Residents benefit from convenient access to Killiney Shopping Centre and SuperValu for daily needs, excellent recreational amenities at Killiney Hill Park and Killiney Beach, and healthcare services available via local clinics and St. Michael's Hospital in Dún Laoghaire.
Hypothesis: The established reputation of Killiney for its natural amenities (Killiney Hill, beach) and its high-performing schools, despite being slightly further from direct city-centre DART links compared to other Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown areas, continues to drive premium property values, as buyers prioritize lifestyle and educational quality over pure commuting speed.
