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
Significant BER Upgrade Opportunity: With a 'G' BER rating, upgrading to a 'B2' would likely cost between €8,000-€12,000 and could increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, representing a strong return on investment.
Details
- Spacious Configuration: The property's 162m² size is comparable to the average property size of 159m² within a 1km radius, but its 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms exceed the median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, indicating a configuration that offers significant potential for larger families or multi-generational living.
- Value Optimization Potential: Given the 'G' BER rating, investing in insulation, a new heating system, and energy-efficient windows could see annual energy costs reduce from an estimated €2,500-€3,000 to €1,000-€1,500, while simultaneously enhancing market appeal and saleability.
- Hypothesis: The widespread 'G' BER rating across all analyzed radii suggests a common need for energy efficiency upgrades in the local housing stock, implying that properties that undergo comprehensive retrofitting will likely experience a disproportionate increase in value and demand compared to their current market peers.
Amenities
Excellent DART Connectivity: Located in Howth, the property benefits from direct access to the DART line at Howth Station, providing swift commuter links to Dublin city centre and surrounding coastal towns.
Details
- Rich Lifestyle Hub: This area boasts a high concentration of amenities, including numerous restaurants and cafes along the harbour, shopping facilities at the nearby 'The Village Centre', and proximity to the scenic Howth Cliff Walk and local schools like Holy Trinity National School.
- Strong Walkability Score: Main Street provides direct pedestrian access to the harbour, shops, and public transport, making daily errands and leisure activities highly accessible without relying on a car.
- Hypothesis: The established popularity and premium desirability of Howth, evidenced by its strong lifestyle amenities and DART connectivity, create a resilient micro-market that can absorb properties even with lower BER ratings, provided they are priced attractively enough to allow for necessary capital expenditure by the buyer.
