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 Rating Impact: The D2 BER rating suggests upgrade costs of €8,000-€12,000 to reach a B2 rating, which could increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, offering a clear return on investment.
Details
- Space Efficiency: At 30.0m², this 1-bedroom apartment is 47% smaller than the average property size of 57.48m² sold within 1km in the last 180 days, positioning it as a compact city living option.
- Value Optimization: The asking price of €245,000 is 8% above the estimated value, and with a D2 BER rating, strategic investment in energy efficiency upgrades could unlock higher market appeal and a stronger valuation.
- Hypothesis: Given that 100% of properties within 1km have an unknown or D2 BER rating, the current D2 rating for this property, while standard for the immediate micro-market, represents a significant opportunity to differentiate and command a premium if upgraded, as buyers may become increasingly sensitive to energy costs and sustainability.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: The property is well-served by Dublin Bus routes 14, 140, and 40 with stops within 500m, and is approximately 15 minutes' walk to the Luas Red Line at Four Courts stop.
Details
- Local Lifestyle Hub: Within a 1km radius, residents have access to O'Connell Street's extensive retail offerings, as well as multiple cafes such as The Queen of Tarts and the Parliament Square.
- Healthcare Access: Proximity to the Mater University Hospital (1.2km) and Rotunda Hospital (800m) ensures excellent healthcare access for residents.
- Hypothesis: The strong pedestrian connectivity of Dominick Street Lower, leading directly to Parnell Square and O'Connell Street, combined with immediate access to key transport routes like the 14 and 140 buses, suggests that this location is highly desirable for individuals prioritizing city centre living and minimal reliance on private vehicles, potentially supporting sustained or increasing demand for compact apartments in this micro-location.
