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 B3 Efficiency: With a B3 BER rating, this property offers reasonable energy efficiency, likely resulting in annual energy costs of approximately €1,400-€1,800, compared to €2,200-€2,800 for a G-rated property of similar size.
Size Advantage: At 173m², this property is significantly larger than the median sale price for similar broad types within 1km (€725,936), offering substantial living space relative to the broader market transaction values.
Upgrade Potential: While the B3 BER is good, upgrading to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €3,000-€5,000 and potentially increase the property's market value by €7,000-€10,000, offering a tangible return on investment.
Hypothesis: The B3 BER rating, while good, represents a missed opportunity for significant value enhancement; a targeted €5,000-€8,000 investment in insulation and heating upgrades to achieve an A3 rating could reduce annual energy bills by €600-€900 and demonstrably increase resale value, appealing to environmentally conscious buyers.
Amenities
Transport Hub Access: This property is well-served by Dublin Bus routes 7, 47, and 114, and is within walking distance to Sandymount DART station, offering excellent connectivity to Dublin city centre and surrounding areas.
Educational Ecosystem: Located within proximity to esteemed institutions such as Muckross Park College, St. Andrew's College, and the Smurfit Graduate Business School, providing strong appeal for families and professionals.
Vibrant Lifestyle Amenities: Residents have easy access to Sandymount Strand for recreation, a variety of cafes and restaurants in Sandymount village, and proximity to Merrion Shopping Centre for retail needs.
Hypothesis: The concentration of high-performing secondary schools (e.g., Muckross Park, St. Andrew's) and proximity to Sandymount Strand suggests that properties in this specific micro-location within Dublin 4 command a premium not solely based on house size or general area desirability, but also on a hyper-local concentration of sought-after family amenities.
