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 Efficiency: With a B3 BER rating, this apartment is energy efficient, likely resulting in annual energy costs of €1,200-€1,600, which is significantly lower than a comparable D-rated property's estimated €1,800-€2,200 costs.
Space Efficiency: At 54m², this 2-bedroom apartment offers a compact but functional living space, with a price per square meter of approximately €8,333 based on its asking price.
Value Optimization: While the B3 BER is good, a targeted upgrade to a B2 or B1 rating, costing an estimated €4,000-€7,000, could potentially increase the property's value by €8,000-€12,000 and further reduce annual energy bills by €200-€300.
Hypothesis: The B3 BER rating provides a solid foundation for energy efficiency, but the relatively high price per square meter of €8,333 suggests that maximizing value will depend on the property's internal condition and any potential for value-add renovations that align with current buyer preferences for modern finishes.
Amenities
Transport Hub: The area is well-served by Dublin Bus routes 17, 61, and 75, providing convenient access to central Dublin and surrounding suburbs, and is approximately a 20-minute bus journey to the Luas Green Line at Dundrum.
Local Services: Residents have convenient access to shops and essential services, with Nutgrove Shopping Centre nearby offering a wide range of retail outlets and supermarkets like Tesco and Dunnes Stores.
Educational Access: Proximity to educational institutions including Rathfarnham Parish National School (within 0.8km) and Loreto High School (within 1.2km) enhances family appeal.
Hypothesis: The strong connectivity via multiple Dublin Bus routes and proximity to essential amenities like Nutgrove Shopping Centre positions this area as highly desirable for young families and professionals, a factor that could drive rental yields up by 5-7% and contribute to consistent capital appreciation.
