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 Inefficiency: With a BER F rating, this apartment is highly inefficient, potentially costing owners €2,500-€3,500 annually in energy, significantly more than a B-rated property of similar size, which might incur €1,000-€1,800 annually.
Details
- Upgrade Opportunity: Investing €10,000-€20,000 to upgrade the BER from F to a more efficient B2 could not only reduce annual energy costs by €1,500-€2,000 but also increase the property's market value by €20,000-€30,000, offering a clear return on investment.
- Unusually Spacious: At 120m², this 1-bedroom apartment is significantly larger than the average 56m² property sold within a 1km radius, offering expansive living space for a single bedroom configuration, with potential for re-configuration.
- Hypothesis: Given its exceptionally large 120m² footprint for a 1-bedroom apartment and poor BER F, this property is likely an older conversion or purpose-built apartment with significant potential for re-layout into a 2-bedroom unit and substantial energy efficiency upgrades, thereby unlocking considerable hidden value beyond its current asking price.
Amenities
Prime Connectivity: Located in Smithfield, the apartment boasts immediate access to the Luas Red Line (Smithfield stop within 200m), along with numerous Dublin Bus routes on nearby Arran Quay and Capel Street (e.g., 37, 39, 70), ensuring excellent city-wide and regional travel options.
Details
- Vibrant Lifestyle: Enjoy local cultural landmarks like the Jameson Distillery Bow St. and Light House Cinema, complemented by a range of popular restaurants and cafes on Smithfield Square and nearby Stoneybatter, offering diverse dining and entertainment choices.
- Essential Services: Essential services are readily available, including Lidl and Fresh supermarkets in Smithfield for daily needs, plus proximity to medical facilities like the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital and a variety of local pharmacies and GP clinics.
- Hypothesis: The continuous development and gentrification of the Smithfield and Stoneybatter areas, including new residential and commercial projects and the expansion of TU Dublin City Campus, will further enhance local amenities and connectivity, likely driving long-term property value appreciation for well-located assets like this apartment.
