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 Opportunity: Upgrading from the D1 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 but is projected to increase property value by €15,000-€20,000.
Details
- Current Energy Costs: With a D1 BER rating, annual energy costs are estimated to be between €1,800-€2,200, significantly higher than the €800-€1,200 for properties with B-rated BER.
- Size vs. Local Norms: The 123m² size of this detached property aligns with the median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms found in the 100km radius market over 180 days, but its BER rating lags behind potential improvements.
- Hypothesis: Given the significant cost-benefit of upgrading the BER rating from D1 to a more efficient standard, and the strong demand indicated by properties selling above asking price, a strategic investment in insulation and heating upgrades could unlock substantial immediate value and long-term savings, making it a financially prudent move for a buyer.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: While Enfield itself is outside Dublin's immediate public transport network, the M4 motorway provides direct access to Dublin City, with bus services likely to connect to local train stations like Kilcock or Maynooth.
Details
- Local Facilities: The area benefits from local amenities in Enfield village, including shops, primary schools like St. Michael's National School, and essential services, providing a good base for daily living.
- Commuter Convenience: The property's location 'outside Dublin' implies a reliance on private transport for commuting, but its proximity to the M4 corridor offers a direct route into the capital for those working there.
- Hypothesis: The appeal of Ballinakill, Enfield, likely hinges on a balance between a more rural lifestyle and accessibility to Dublin via the M4, suggesting that its value proposition will be strongest for buyers prioritizing space and tranquility over immediate public transport links, provided they have reliable private transport.
