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 Improvement Opportunity: The E1 BER rating necessitates upgrades; bringing this property to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing its market value by €15,000-€20,000 and enhancing its appeal in a market increasingly focused on energy efficiency.
Size Competitiveness: With a size of 113m², this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom semi-detached house is a standard configuration, but its value will be heavily influenced by its condition and BER rating relative to other properties in the immediate vicinity.
Value Optimization Potential: The current BER rating of E1 suggests significant potential for value uplift through energy efficiency improvements; investing in insulation, windows, and heating systems could yield a strong return on investment by aligning the property with more desirable BER ratings prevalent in higher-value sales within the local market.
Hypothesis: Given that the median sale price for similar broad property types within 1km over 180 days is €862,500, the E1 BER rating is likely a key factor suppressing this property's valuation, as buyers in this price bracket are increasingly seeking properties with lower running costs and higher energy efficiency.
Amenities
Excellent Transport Links: The property benefits from close proximity to the Green Line Luas at Balally stop, located approximately 0.8km away, providing direct access to Dublin City Centre, as well as Dublin Bus routes 44, 61, and 116 serving Sandyford Road.
Comprehensive Local Amenities: Within walking distance, residents have access to Dundrum Town Centre for extensive shopping, dining, and entertainment, as well as local conveniences like SuperValu in Dundrum Village and a range of restaurants and cafes.
Strong Educational and Healthcare Access: The area is well-served by educational institutions, including Kilmacud Primary School (0.7km) and St. Olaf's National School (0.9km), while access to healthcare is provided by the Beacon Hospital (2km) and numerous local GP clinics and pharmacies.
Hypothesis: The combination of direct Luas access to the city centre and the immediate presence of Dundrum Town Centre, a major retail and employment hub, suggests that the property's appeal extends beyond local residents to city-commuting professionals, potentially commanding a premium due to this dual connectivity.
