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 C1 Efficiency: With a C1 BER rating, this apartment is moderately energy efficient, likely incurring annual energy costs of €1,400-€1,800, compared to €1,000-€1,400 for a B-rated property of similar size.
Details
- Standard Size for Area: The 110 sqm size aligns with the average property size of 113 sqm within a 3km radius over the past 180 days, indicating it's a well-proportioned apartment for the local market.
- Value Optimization Potential: While not requiring immediate costly upgrades like D or E rated properties, focusing on minor insulation or heating system improvements could potentially elevate the BER rating and enhance long-term value by €5,000-€8,000.
- Hypothesis: The consistent BER unknown percentage of 100% for properties within 3km and 5km radii over 180 days indicates a lack of readily available BER data for comparison, suggesting an opportunity for owners to improve their property's marketability and potential resale value by obtaining a more precise and possibly higher BER rating than the current C1.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Residents have access to Dublin Bus routes 145 and 155 serving the area, with Bray DART station approximately 2km away providing direct access to Dublin city centre.
Details
- Local Educational Hub: The property is located near St. Fergal's National School (1km) and Loreto Secondary School Bray (1.5km), offering strong educational options for families.
- Retail and Leisure Access: Close proximity to the Mermaid Arts Centre (1.8km) and a range of shops and cafes in Bray town centre, as well as Bray Promenade for outdoor activities.
- Hypothesis: Given Bray's ongoing development plans, particularly along the coast and around the town centre, properties like 73 The Headlands, which offer a balance of residential comfort and proximity to emerging amenities and improved transport links, are likely to see continued capital appreciation driven by enhanced desirability and accessibility.
