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: With a D2 BER rating, upgrading to a B2 standard would likely cost between €8,000-€12,000 and could increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000.
Compact Living: At 59.0m², this 2-bedroom terrace house is on the smaller side compared to the average property size of 111.75m² within a 3km radius, suggesting it's best suited for individuals or smaller households.
Value Optimization: The current D2 BER rating suggests annual energy costs could range from €1,800-€2,200; a strategic upgrade to a B2 rating would reduce these to approximately €800-€1,200 annually, offering significant long-term savings.
Hypothesis: The D2 BER rating, while indicating a need for upgrades, presents a strategic opportunity for value enhancement, as investing in energy efficiency improvements could yield a higher return than comparable properties with better existing ratings, especially given the high percentage (100%) of unknown BER ratings in the immediate 1km radius.
Amenities
Transport Hub Proximity: While specific routes for Bray are not detailed in raw data, the 'Dublin' location implies access to extensive Dublin Bus and potentially DART services, enhancing commuter options.
Local Conveniences: Bray town centre offers a range of shops, supermarkets like Tesco and Dunnes Stores, and cafes such as Butler's Chocolate Cafe, all within reasonable proximity.
Green Spaces and Leisure: Residents can enjoy nearby parks like Bray Head and the scenic Bray Promenade, alongside local amenities such as the Martello Tower.
Hypothesis: Given Bray's coastal location and connectivity to Dublin, the presence of specific amenities such as the DART station (facilitating easy commutes to Dublin city centre) and a vibrant town centre with ample retail and dining options, suggests this property offers a strong lifestyle appeal that justifies its valuation despite a modest size.
