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 Advantage: With a B3 BER rating, this apartment offers good energy efficiency, potentially leading to annual energy cost savings of €900-€1,300 compared to similar-sized D-rated properties in the area.
Compact Configuration: This 80m² apartment with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms is a standard but efficient layout for its size, making it appealing for couples or small families.
Value Optimization Opportunity: While not requiring immediate costly upgrades, a further BER improvement from B3 to B2 could cost an estimated €1,500-€2,500 and potentially add €3,000-€5,000 to its market value, representing a sound investment.
Hypothesis: The B3 BER rating, while good, could be further optimized to a B2 or B1 through minor insulation or heating system adjustments, potentially creating a 'premium apartment' niche within Ashbourne that commands a price uplift of 5-10% against a market dominated by less energy-efficient houses.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: While located in Ashbourne, Co. Meath, it's stated as 'Dublin' location, suggesting potential commuter focus; specific Dublin Bus routes serving Ashbourne include 109 and 109A, providing links to Dublin City Centre.
Local Retail Hub: Ashbourne town centre offers a range of amenities including The Ashbourne Retail Park, Dunnes Stores, and local pharmacies, catering to daily needs.
Educational Proximity: The area is served by several primary and secondary schools such as St. Mary's National School and Ashbourne Community National School, making it a potentially family-friendly location.
Hypothesis: The 'Dublin' designation for an Ashbourne address indicates a significant commuter appeal, and if Dublin's public transport expansion plans (e.g., MetroLink or enhanced rail services towards Meath) materialize, properties in Ashbourne could see a substantial uplift in value due to improved connectivity, potentially closing the gap with more established Dublin suburban markets.
