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 Upgrade Potential: With a D2 BER rating, investing €8,000-€12,000 could upgrade the property to a B2 rating, potentially increasing its market value by €15,000-€20,000.
Energy Cost Savings: Upgrading the D2 BER to a B rating could reduce annual energy costs from an estimated €1,800-€2,200 to €800-€1,200 for a property of this 84m² size, saving €600-€1,400 annually.
Size & Configuration: At 84m², this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom end-of-terrace property is slightly smaller than the 1km average property size of 91m² for local 3-bedroom homes.
Hypothesis: The property's relatively smaller size compared to the 1km average (84m² vs 91m²) but similar bedroom count implies efficient internal layout, a potential selling point for buyers prioritizing manageable spaces over sheer square footage.
Amenities
Commuter Connectivity: The property offers excellent transport links, with Bray Daly DART Station approximately 2km away and Dublin Bus routes 145 and 84/84A providing direct access to Dublin city and surrounding areas.
Family Lifestyle: The location benefits from proximity to several schools, including St. Cronan's Boys National School and Loreto Secondary School, alongside local childcare facilities and the popular Bray Seafront promenade.
Local Convenience: Residents have immediate access to essential services with supermarkets like Tesco and SuperValu nearby, along with numerous shops, cafes, and restaurants in Bray town centre, all within walkable distances.
Hypothesis: The blend of seaside lifestyle, direct Dublin transport links, and comprehensive local amenities within Bray will likely continue to attract a diverse range of buyers, especially families and commuters seeking a balanced suburban-coastal living experience.
