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 B2 BER rating, this apartment is well-positioned for energy efficiency, suggesting annual energy costs would be approximately €800-€1,200, significantly lower than properties with D ratings in the area.
Space Efficiency: The 56.0m² size offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms, a configuration that is often in demand for its functionality, particularly for small families or sharers.
Value Optimization: Given the B2 BER rating, further upgrades to an A-rated BER would likely involve costs of €8,000-€12,000 but could potentially increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, offering a good return on investment.
Hypothesis: The B2 BER rating, while good, presents an opportunity for value enhancement; achieving an A3 or higher could significantly bolster its appeal in a market increasingly conscious of energy costs, potentially attracting a premium of €10,000-€15,000 over similar B2 rated properties.
Amenities
Transport Links: The area is served by Dublin Bus routes like the 40, 180, and 220, providing direct access to the city center and surrounding suburbs.
Local Conveniences: Residents have access to numerous amenities including Lidl and Aldi supermarkets, Finglas Village Shopping Centre, and the Charlestown Shopping Centre within a short drive for retail needs.
Educational & Healthcare Access: The property is in proximity to schools such as St. Canice's Boys National School and Scoil Ide Primary School, with Connolly Hospital and numerous local clinics providing healthcare services.
Hypothesis: The ongoing development and regeneration plans for Finglas, including potential improvements to public transport infrastructure and the creation of new community spaces, could lead to a significant uplift in property values and desirability within the next 3-5 years.
