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: With a B2 BER rating, this property is positioned well for energy efficiency, likely resulting in annual energy costs of approximately €1,200-€1,600, compared to €2,000-€2,600 for properties with a D rating of similar size.
Value Optimization Opportunity: While the B2 rating is good, investing in a B1 or A rating upgrade, potentially costing €6,000-€10,000, could further enhance market appeal and potentially increase the property value by €10,000-€15,000, especially if nearby comparable properties boast higher ratings.
Size and Space: The 82.0m² apartment with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms offers a comfortable living space, fitting the standard for modern apartment living, and aligns with the typical configuration seen in its immediate market.
Hypothesis: Given the property's B2 BER rating, the next logical step for value optimization would be to target specific upgrades, such as improved insulation in the attic and walls (€3,000-€5,000) and upgrading to a high-efficiency boiler (€3,000-€5,000), which could realistically push the BER to A3 and potentially command a 3-5% price premium over similar B2 rated properties in the local market.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: The area is served by Dublin Bus routes 25, 66, and 67, providing direct access to Dublin city center, and is within reasonable proximity to the DART station in Bray, facilitating commuter access.
Local Lifestyle Hub: Residents have convenient access to a range of amenities including the Mermaid Arts Centre, numerous cafes and restaurants along the Vevay Road and Strand Road, and the popular Bray Head and scenic coastal walks.
Family and Educational Services: The vicinity includes St. Brendan's National School and Loreto Secondary School, alongside childcare facilities such as Little Stars Creche, offering comprehensive services for families.
Hypothesis: The presence of the Bray DART station, located approximately 1.5km away, combined with frequent Dublin Bus services, suggests that properties in La Vallee offer a strong commuting advantage, potentially commanding a 5-7% price premium compared to similar properties further from direct public transport links, especially for those working in Dublin's central business districts.
