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
High-Efficiency BER: The A2 BER rating suggests annual energy costs are likely between €800-€1,200, offering significant savings compared to an average D-rated property of similar size which would incur €1,800-€2,200 annually.
Details
- Size Advantage: At 120m², this semi-detached property offers ample living space, which is larger than the median 3-bedroom property typically seen in the 10km radius market, which has a median of 3 beds but no size data provided for direct comparison.
- BER Investment Potential: While already A2, a further upgrade to A1 could potentially enhance value by €5,000-€10,000, reflecting the market's increasing focus on the highest energy efficiency standards.
- Hypothesis: The A2 BER rating, while excellent, may not be fully capitalising on the market's premium for peak energy efficiency; a targeted investment in smart home technology or enhanced insulation could nudge it towards an A1 rating, potentially unlocking an additional 2-3% increase in resale value within the highly energy-conscious segment of the market.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: There are no specific bus routes, train stations, Luas, or DART stops listed as serving Malin directly within the provided data, indicating poor public transport connectivity.
Details
- Scarce Local Services: Information on specific schools, healthcare facilities, or retail outlets within close proximity to Malin is not provided in the raw data, suggesting a lack of immediate local amenities.
- Low Walkability Indication: The absence of specific walking routes or pedestrian infrastructure details suggests that walkability may be limited, potentially requiring reliance on private transport for most needs.
- Hypothesis: The lack of specific data on public transport, schools, and retail in Malin suggests a rural or semi-rural setting where private vehicle ownership is essential, which could negatively impact the property's appeal to a wider buyer demographic and potentially limit future capital growth if local infrastructure development is not prioritized.
