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 Efficiency: The B3 BER rating suggests moderate energy efficiency; upgrading to a B2 could cost approximately €1,500-€2,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €3,000-€5,000, with annual energy savings of roughly €200-€300 compared to a D-rated property.
Space Underutilization: With 120 sqm for only one bedroom and one bathroom, this apartment offers significant potential for reconfiguration; for example, creating a second bedroom could add substantial value, potentially increasing its market value by €30,000-€50,000 based on local price per sqm.
Value Optimization: Given the large size for its current configuration, strategic renovations to create an additional bedroom or upgrade finishes (kitchen/bathroom) could yield a return on investment of 150-200% if executed efficiently, capitalizing on the high price per sqm in the area.
Hypothesis: The spacious 120 sqm layout for a 1-bedroom apartment, while offering potential for value-add renovations, is significantly larger than the average 1-bedroom unit and may be overlooked by single occupants seeking more compact, maintenance-light living, suggesting a niche buyer profile for this specific configuration.
Amenities
Transport Hub: Direct access to the Luas Red Line at the Mayor Square - NCI stop (5-minute walk) and multiple Dublin Bus routes including 15, 27, 47, 56A, 77A, and 114 within a 500m radius provide exceptional connectivity.
Urban Lifestyle Epicenter: Surrounded by the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre, Herbert Park, and a vast array of dining options such as The Greenhouse, Chapter One by Mickael Viljanen, and popular cafes like Roasted Brown, offering unparalleled lifestyle amenities.
Proximity to Services: Within walking distance of St. Andrew's National School (700m), Merrion Square's medical clinics, and a short commute to Mater Private Hospital (via Luas Red Line), ensuring comprehensive access to essential services.
Hypothesis: The high concentration of major employers in the tech and finance sectors around Grand Canal Dock, coupled with the area's excellent transport links and extensive lifestyle amenities, positions properties like Forbes Quay Apartments as prime rental investments with strong yield potential, driving up demand and supporting sustained capital appreciation.
