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 the C3 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, representing a solid return on investment.
Details
- Slightly Smaller Footprint: The property's size of 104m² is marginally larger than the average property size of 101m² within a 1km radius over the last 180 days, offering adequate space.
- Configuration Mismatch: The 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom configuration is below the median of 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms reported within a 1km radius over the last 180 days, potentially limiting its appeal in a market favouring larger homes.
- Hypothesis: Given that 100% of properties within a 1km radius over the last 90 days have an unknown BER rating, the current C3 rating, while not poor, presents a clear opportunity for a new owner to invest in energy efficiency upgrades and command a premium, especially if neighbouring properties are also not transparent with their BER information.
Amenities
Transport Links: This location is served by Dublin Bus routes 175 and 49, providing connectivity to Dublin City Centre and surrounding areas, with the nearest stop approximately 400m away.
Details
- Local Education: The property is within proximity to secondary schools such as Sancta Maria College (1.2km) and Rathfarnham School (1.5km), and primary schools like Gaelscoil Thaobh na Coille (1.8km).
- Green Spaces and Retail: Residents benefit from easy access to Rathfarnham Castle Park (1.1km) and nearby shopping facilities at Nutgrove Shopping Centre (2.5km), offering convenience and leisure options.
- Hypothesis: The development of the new bus corridor projects in Dublin, which are intended to improve public transport frequency and reliability, will likely enhance the commuter appeal of areas like Rathfarnham, potentially driving demand and property values for properties with good access to these improved routes.
