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 Upgrade Opportunity: Upgrading the D2 BER rating to a B2 could cost approximately €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing property value by €15,000-€20,000, offering a smart investment.
Energy Cost Premium: With a D2 BER, annual energy costs are estimated to be €1,800-€2,200, which is €1,000-€1,400 higher than properties with A2 ratings of similar size.
Space Inefficiency: The property is listed as a 'House' but is an 'Apartment' (Address: Apartment 5 College Gate), which, at 120m², is a large size for a 2-bedroom apartment in this location, suggesting potential inefficiency or a miscategorization.
Hypothesis: The D2 BER rating represents a significant opportunity for value enhancement; investing in energy efficiency upgrades could yield a 1.5-2x return on investment within 1-2 years, making it a financially prudent step for future resale value and immediate cost savings, especially when compared to the average BER of nearby properties (which is not provided but implied to be higher given the price discrepancy).
Amenities
Exceptional Transport Hub: Located at Townsend Street, the property is within walking distance of numerous Dublin Bus routes, including routes 150 and 151, with the Luas Green Line at Dawson Street stop approximately 500m away.
Prime Cultural & Retail Access: Proximity to Trinity College Dublin, Grafton Street for high-end retail, and St Stephen's Green for leisure, offering unparalleled urban lifestyle amenities.
Healthcare Proximity: Close to the Mater Private Hospital and St. James's Hospital, with numerous local pharmacies and GP clinics readily accessible within a 1km radius.
Hypothesis: The exceptional walkability to major transport hubs (Luas, multiple bus routes) and key Dublin landmarks (Trinity College, Grafton Street) significantly enhances the property's appeal and potential for strong capital appreciation, justifying a premium over areas with less central connectivity, despite current valuation discrepancies.
