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 C3 Opportunity: The C3 BER rating suggests potential for energy efficiency upgrades; investing €8,000-€12,000 in insulation and window upgrades could potentially improve the BER to B2 and increase property value by €15,000-€20,000.
Generous Space: This 120 sqm apartment offers significantly more space than the average 80 sqm property sold within a 1km radius over the last 180 days, presenting excellent value for those seeking ample living area.
Configuration Mismatch: While spacious at 120 sqm, the 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom configuration is below the median of 2 beds and 2 baths seen in sales within a 1km radius over the last 90 days, potentially limiting its appeal to a niche buyer segment.
Hypothesis: The substantial 120 sqm size of this 1-bedroom apartment, despite a median of 2 bedrooms sold locally, indicates a unique opportunity for a buyer to undertake a cost-effective internal reconfiguration to add a second bedroom, potentially increasing its market value significantly beyond the current asking price.
Amenities
Excellent Connectivity: This property is well-served by transport, with Dublin Bus routes 150 and 56A within walking distance, and the Red Line Luas at Four Courts stop approximately 1km away.
Urban Lifestyle Hub: Situated near The Digital Hub, residents have easy access to St. Patrick's Cathedral, the National Museum of Ireland, and a variety of restaurants and cafes on Francis Street.
Walkable Urban Core: With a walkability score likely high, residents can easily access local conveniences such as Tesco Ireland (0.5km), multiple pharmacies, and local parks like Weaver Park.
Hypothesis: The location in Dublin 8, proximate to educational institutions like Griffith College and a range of childcare facilities, combined with excellent transport links, positions this property as a strong contender for students and young professionals, despite the 1-bedroom configuration, due to its access to essential services and urban amenities.
