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 Efficiency Potential: Upgrading this B2 BER rating property to a B1 or A-rated status could cost €10,000-€15,000 but may increase its market value by €20,000-€30,000, offering a solid return on investment.
Size and Configuration Mismatch: With 132.0m² and only 2 bedrooms but 3 bathrooms, this property is unusually configured for its size in a market often favoring more bedrooms, potentially limiting its appeal to families and impacting its value relative to larger, 3-bedroom homes.
Value Optimization Opportunity: The €1,063,613 estimated value and €1,095,000 asking price for a 2-bed, 3-bath, 132m² property suggests that optimizing the bedroom count through renovation could yield significant value uplift, particularly if similar 3-bed homes in the area command higher sale prices.
Hypothesis: Given the 2-bedroom configuration with 3 bathrooms, a strategic renovation to convert one of the bathrooms or a portion of the spacious living area into a third bedroom could unlock significant capital appreciation, potentially increasing its value by over 15-20% if it aligns with local demand for 3-bedroom detached homes.
Amenities
Transport Links: While specific routes aren't listed for Texas Lane, Malahide generally benefits from Dublin Bus routes such as the 42 and 43 towards Dublin City Centre and the nearby Malahide DART station, providing good connectivity.
Local Conveniences: Malahide village offers a strong selection of amenities including boutiques, supermarkets like Tesco and Donnybrook Fair, and highly-regarded eateries such as The Greedy Goose and Kajal Indian Restaurant.
Family & Lifestyle Hub: The area is served by excellent schools like Malahide Community School and St. Oliver's National School, with leisure options including Malahide Castle & Gardens, Malahide Beach, and numerous sports clubs.
Hypothesis: The high concentration of lifestyle amenities and the presence of the Malahide DART station, despite the lack of specific bus route data for Texas Lane, suggest that properties in this postcode command a premium due to the desirable Malahide lifestyle and commuter convenience, contributing to higher valuations even with less-than-ideal configuration like 2 bedrooms.
