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
Significant BER Upgrade Needed: With an E2 BER rating, upgrading to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000, but has the potential to increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, presenting a clear opportunity for capital appreciation.
Details
- Below Average Size: At 43m², this apartment is significantly smaller than the average property size of 143m² within a 1km radius over 180 days, indicating it may appeal to a more niche buyer.
- Value Optimization: The current E2 BER rating suggests annual energy costs could be between €1,800-€2,200, compared to an estimated €800-€1,200 for a B-rated property of similar size, highlighting a substantial saving potential of €1,000-€1,400 annually after upgrades.
- Hypothesis: The substantial difference in BER ratings between this E2 apartment and the prevalence of higher-rated properties in the wider Dublin market (though not explicitly shown for the 1km radius in the data) implies a significant opportunity for value uplift through energy efficiency upgrades, potentially pushing its price towards the higher end of its current valuation range if improved.
Amenities
Excellent Transport Links: The area is well-served by Dublin Bus routes 17, 44, 61, and 75, providing direct access to key city destinations, and is within a reasonable distance of the Luas Green Line at Dundrum or Ballaly stops.
Details
- Comprehensive Local Amenities: Residents have easy access to the shops and services at Nutgrove Shopping Centre (1km), including Dunnes Stores and various retailers, as well as a selection of cafes and restaurants in Rathfarnham Village.
- Proximity to Educational and Healthcare Facilities: The property is located near Scoil Naomh Pádraig (Primary School, 0.8km), Loreto High School (Secondary School, 1.2km), and is within reach of Tallaght University Hospital (approx. 4km drive) and local pharmacies.
- Hypothesis: The combination of strong bus connectivity, the nearby Nutgrove Shopping Centre, and the established residential nature of Rathfarnham suggests that properties in this specific pocket of Dublin 14 could see increased demand and value appreciation if any new public transport infrastructure, such as a new Luas spur or improved bus frequency, is introduced in the coming years.
