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 Upgrade Opportunity: Upgrading the E1 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €12,000-€18,000 but could increase the property's value by €20,000-€30,000.
Size Efficiency: At 155m², the property offers a substantial living space with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, fitting the needs of larger families within the Dublin market.
Value Optimization Potential: Given the E1 BER, investing in insulation and heating upgrades could reduce annual energy costs from an estimated €2,000-€2,800 to €900-€1,300, unlocking significant savings and improving market appeal.
Hypothesis: The E1 BER rating significantly dampens the property's intrinsic value proposition; a strategic investment in energy efficiency could not only improve its marketability but also attract environmentally conscious buyers willing to pay a premium for a more sustainable home.
Amenities
Excellent Transport Hub: This property is well-served by Dublin Bus routes 130 and 31, with the DART station at Howth (approximately 1km) providing swift access to Dublin city centre.
Premium Lifestyle Location: Residents benefit from immediate access to Howth village's renowned restaurants such as Aqua and Octopussy, cafes like The House, and outdoor pursuits in Howth Cliff Walk and nearby Howth Harbour.
Family & Education Rich: The area offers a choice of schools including St. Mary's Secondary School (800m) and primary options like Holy Star National School (1.2km), complemented by local parks such as Deer Park.
Hypothesis: The combination of high-end coastal amenities, excellent transport links to Dublin city, and a strong reputation for lifestyle and natural beauty in Howth creates a distinct 'Howth premium' that justifies higher property values, even with an average BER rating.
