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 C3 BER rating to a B2 could cost approximately €8,000-€12,000, with a potential value increase of €15,000-€20,000 for this 55 sqm apartment, optimising long-term value.
Energy Cost Savings: A C3 BER rating means annual energy costs for this 55 sqm apartment are estimated to be between €1,300-€1,700, which is approximately €300-€700 higher annually than comparable B-rated properties in the area.
Space Efficiency: At 55 sqm for a 1-bedroom apartment, this property offers a standard but potentially compact living space, indicating efficient use of area for its size category.
Hypothesis: Given the C3 BER rating, focusing on insulation and heating upgrades could yield a significant return on investment, not only in energy cost savings but also in enhancing the property's appeal and marketability against competitors with better environmental credentials, potentially closing the gap with higher-rated properties that command a premium.
Amenities
Connectivity Hub: The area is served by Dublin Bus routes 25, 66, and 67, providing direct access to Dublin city centre, and is in proximity to the train station in Dunboyne, facilitating commuter travel.
Local Education and Healthcare: Proximity to schools such as St. Peter's National School and local healthcare facilities like the Dunboyne Health Centre offers convenience for residents.
Shopping and Leisure: Nearby amenities include Dunnes Stores and a range of local shops and cafes in Dunboyne village, as well as green spaces like Dunboyne Castle Golf & Country Club for recreation.
Hypothesis: The development of the proposed Metro North line extension to Dunboyne could significantly boost property values by enhancing connectivity to Dublin city centre, making this area an attractive prospect for future growth and increasing the appeal for both owner-occupiers and investors.
