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: With a BER D rating, upgrading to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €15,000-€20,000 and reducing current estimated annual energy costs of €1,800-€2,200 to €800-€1,200, offering significant savings.
Compact but Efficient Layout: At 95m², this 3-bedroom semi-detached property is more compact than the average 1km property size of 130m², offering a manageable footprint that could appeal to first-time buyers or small families seeking efficient living space within the area.
Bathroom Upgrade Potential: The property currently features 1 bathroom, while the median number of bathrooms for sales within a 1km radius is 2, indicating an opportunity to add significant value and market appeal by converting existing space or extending to include an additional bathroom.
Hypothesis: Investing in a BER upgrade and adding a second bathroom would not only enhance the property's energy efficiency and modern appeal but also significantly close the gap between its asking price and the higher median sale prices of similarly sized, yet better-equipped, properties in the immediate 1km radius, ensuring a strong return on investment.
Amenities
Excellent Transport Connectivity: Scholarstown Park offers strong transport links with multiple Dublin Bus routes, including the 15, 15A, and 16, serving Scholarstown Road and surrounding areas, providing direct access to Dublin City Centre and easy access to the M50 Motorway for wider regional commuting.
Robust Family Lifestyle Hub: The area provides a high quality of life for families, with access to esteemed educational institutions like Coláiste Éanna and Divine Word National School, coupled with extensive green spaces such as Marlay Park and Rathfarnham Castle Park for recreation.
Comprehensive Local Services: Residents benefit from convenient access to essential amenities including Nutgrove Shopping Centre and Rathfarnham Shopping Centre for retail and supermarkets, various local GP clinics and pharmacies, and walkability to local shops and services within Rathfarnham Village.
Hypothesis: Continued population growth in Dublin's suburbs, combined with limited new housing supply, will likely increase demand for well-located family homes in areas like Rathfarnham, further elevating property values due to the established infrastructure, highly-regarded schools, and extensive lifestyle amenities.
