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
Efficient BER Rating: The B3 BER rating indicates good energy efficiency, likely resulting in annual energy costs of approximately €1,300-€1,700, compared to €2,000-€2,500 for a D-rated property of similar size.
Compact Living Space: At 72m², this 2-bedroom terrace offers a functional layout, but its size might be considered modest compared to the 3-bedroom median within a 100km radius.
Value Optimization Opportunity: While the B3 BER is good, a potential upgrade to B2 could cost around €8,000-€12,000 and might increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000.
Hypothesis: The consistent BER rating of B across similar properties within a 100km radius, alongside a median of 3 bedrooms, suggests that properties with a strong B rating and 3 bedrooms are in high demand, implying that this 2-bedroom unit might be slightly undersized for optimal long-term value appreciation in this market.
Amenities
Connectivity to Dublin: While "outside Dublin," Rathangan is served by Bus Éireann routes, connecting to larger transport hubs for access to Dublin city.
Local Services: The area has access to local shops and services within Rathangan, with larger retail centres accessible via the aforementioned bus routes.
Educational Access: Nearby primary schools such as St Anne's National School and secondary schools like St Farnan's Post Primary School cater to local families.
Hypothesis: The designation 'outside Dublin' for Rathangan, combined with limited direct public transport links (e.g., no specific Luas or DART lines mentioned in data), suggests a commuter reliance on private transport, potentially impacting its attractiveness to buyers prioritizing direct access to the city and leading to a price discount compared to well-connected commuter towns.
