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 Improvement Opportunity: With a D1 BER rating, upgrading insulation and heating systems could cost €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €15,000-€20,000 and reducing annual energy costs by an estimated €1,000-€1,400 compared to similar D-rated properties.
Details
- Generous Proportions: The bungalow offers a substantial 129m² of living space with 4 bedrooms, positioning it as a larger than average property within the local market, where the median is 3 bedrooms.
- Value Optimization Potential: While the D1 BER rating suggests room for improvement, the property's size and 2 bathrooms offer a solid foundation for future value enhancement through targeted energy efficiency upgrades and potential modernizations.
- Hypothesis: Given the significant difference in potential energy cost savings between a D1 BER rating and a B-rated property, a strategic investment in energy upgrades could not only recoup costs but also significantly enhance the long-term marketability and value of this bungalow, especially if the local market continues to prioritize energy efficiency.
Amenities
Commuter Connectivity: While not directly serviced by DART or Luas, Blackrock is typically served by Dublin Bus routes such as the 1, 45A, and 75, offering direct links to Dublin city centre.
Details
- Local Family Amenities: The area benefits from excellent family-focused amenities, including Gaelscoil Uí Chathasaigh and Holy Cross National School within a short drive, and nearby parks such as Blackrock Park.
- Retail and Leisure Hub: Within close proximity is the Blackrock Shopping Centre, providing a comprehensive retail experience, alongside numerous cafes, restaurants, and leisure facilities contributing to a high quality of life.
- Hypothesis: The established infrastructure in Blackrock, including established bus routes and retail centres, suggests that any future public transport enhancements, such as potential extensions or improvements to existing bus corridors, could further elevate the connectivity and desirability of properties like this bungalow.
