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: Upgrading this D2 BER-rated apartment to a B2 rating would cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing its property value by €15,000-€20,000.
Details
- Energy Cost Savings: Currently, a D-rated property of this size incurs estimated annual energy costs of €1,800-€2,200, but an upgrade to B-rating could reduce this significantly to €800-€1,200 annually, saving €1,000-€1,400 per year.
- Compact Living: At 49m², this 1-bedroom apartment is notably more compact than the average 75m² property and median 2-bedroom configuration sold within a 1km radius over the past 180 days, appealing to single occupants or couples seeking efficient city living.
- Hypothesis: Given its compact size and D2 BER, future demand for this apartment will be significantly driven by its potential for energy efficiency upgrades, which not only reduce running costs but also align it with evolving buyer preferences for sustainable and cost-effective urban living in Dublin 1.
