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: Upgrading the D BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €15,000-€20,000 and reducing annual energy costs from an estimated €1,800-€2,200 to €800-€1,200.
Size Efficiency: The 120m² bungalow with 2 bedrooms is smaller than the average of 9 similar bungalows sold within 1km in the last 180 days, which had a median sale price of €550,000, suggesting a potential mismatch in size expectations for this price bracket.
Value Optimization Potential: Given the D BER, an investment in insulation, window upgrades, and a modern heating system could cost €8,000-€12,000 and realistically boost the property's appeal and value, closing the gap with higher-rated homes.
Hypothesis: The current D BER rating limits the property's appeal and efficiency. Future value appreciation is heavily tied to strategic energy upgrades, which could reposition it more favourably against B or C-rated bungalows that are commanding higher prices and attracting more buyers in the local market.
Amenities
Transport Links: While specific routes aren't listed, Leixlip is served by Dublin Bus routes such as the 66 and 67, and the Confey and Leixlip train stations provide access to Dublin city centre.
Local Conveniences: Residents have access to amenities such as the Liffey Valley Shopping Centre nearby, and local shops and services within Leixlip village.
Educational and Healthcare Access: The area benefits from schools like Scoil Mhuire Junior School and Scoil Mhuire Senior School, and healthcare access is provided by local clinics and pharmacies, with Connolly Hospital accessible within a reasonable distance.
Hypothesis: The proximity to established transport links and the development of new infrastructure in the greater Dublin area suggest that the connectivity for properties in Leixlip will continue to improve, potentially driving up demand and property values for bungalows that offer good living space and renovation potential.
