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 C2 Potential: With a C2 BER rating, upgrading to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase property value by €15,000-€20,000.
Details
- Spacious Living: The property's 175m² size is significantly larger than the median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms found across markets within 100km, offering ample living space.
- Value Optimization Opportunity: While the property has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, the C2 BER rating suggests potential for value enhancement through energy efficiency upgrades, which could significantly reduce ongoing running costs and improve market appeal.
- Hypothesis: The C2 BER rating, while not poor, represents an opportunity for the discerning buyer; investing in energy efficiency upgrades could not only offset the current €719,520 estimated value but also position the property favorably against its peers in the long term, especially if local market data shows a trend towards higher BER ratings in premium coastal locations.
Amenities
Coastal Lifestyle Access: Brittas Bay itself offers renowned beaches and coastal walks, providing significant lifestyle appeal for residents.
Details
- Regional Connectivity: While specific local public transport options like bus routes or train stations are not detailed in the provided data for Brittas Bay, the property's location 'Outside Dublin' implies reliance on private transport for access to wider amenities.
- Limited Local Services: Based on the 'Outside Dublin' classification, immediate access to a broad spectrum of shops, schools, and healthcare facilities typically found in urban centres may require travel to nearby towns.
- Hypothesis: The value of Blacksheep House is heavily contingent on its unique coastal setting, suggesting that future development in terms of enhanced public transport links or local community facilities within a 5-10km radius could significantly bolster property values, making it a good candidate for infrastructure investment.
