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
Energy Efficiency: With an A2 BER rating, this property's annual energy costs are estimated to be €800-€1,200, a saving of €1,000-€1,400 annually compared to similar-sized D-rated homes.
Space Advantage: At 130m², this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom semi-detached home offers ample living space, exceeding the median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms recorded within a 5km radius.
Value Optimization: The A2 BER rating suggests a modern build, minimizing immediate expenditure on energy efficiency upgrades and maximizing long-term value retention.
Hypothesis: The presence of a high A2 BER rating in a market with 100% unknown BER ratings for sold properties within 5km suggests this property is a significant outlier in terms of modern building standards and energy performance, positioning it for strong future capital growth irrespective of broader market fluctuations.
Amenities
Transport Links: While specific routes aren't detailed, Ratoath's location implies connectivity to major arterial routes for access to Dublin city.
Local Services: Ratoath offers a range of amenities including supermarkets like Tesco and Lidl, with local schools such as Ratoath National School and Ratoath GAA serving the community.
Family Focus: The area provides essential family services with childcare facilities and sports clubs, enhancing its appeal to residents with children.
Hypothesis: Despite Ratoath's distance from traditional Dublin transport hubs like the Luas or DART, its growing status as a desirable commuter town, evidenced by the A2 BER properties being listed, suggests that future investment in enhanced public transport links, potentially including park-and-ride facilities or expanded bus services, is highly probable and would significantly boost property values.
