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 Potential: Upgrading the D2 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 but potentially increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, offering a positive return on investment.
Space Efficiency: At 95m² with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the property offers a generous 47.5m² per bedroom, which is well-proportioned for the Dublin market and competitive within its apartment type.
Value Optimization: Given the D2 BER, focusing on energy efficiency upgrades such as improved insulation and modern heating systems could make the property more attractive and align its running costs with higher-rated comparables, potentially costing €1,800-€2,200 annually for current energy usage versus €800-€1,200 for a B-rated property.
Hypothesis: The D2 BER rating is a significant factor, and while upgrades are possible, the immediate market perception may limit its value compared to properties with C ratings or higher, suggesting a potential €5,000-€10,000 valuation gap solely due to the BER.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: The area is served by Dublin Bus routes 44, 63, and 75, offering convenient access to Dublin city centre and surrounding suburbs, with the nearest DART station being Dalkey (approx. 3km).
Local Lifestyle Hub: Cabinteely village provides a vibrant mix of amenities including Dunnes Stores, a local library, and numerous cafes and restaurants such as The Horse & Hound and Flemings.
Family & Healthcare Access: Proximity to St. Brigid's Boys' National School (500m) and Rathdown School (1km), alongside access to St. Columcille's Hospital (2km) and nearby pharmacies like Cabinteely Pharmacy.
Hypothesis: The €6,595.86 median price per square meter within a 3km radius, influenced by strong local schools and transport links like the 44 bus route to Dublin City, suggests that properties with superior school catchment and direct transport routes command a noticeable 5-10% premium.
