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 Unknown Cost: With a BER rating of SI_666 (effectively unknown), significant uncertainty exists regarding energy efficiency; an upgrade to a B2 rating, estimated to cost between €10,000-€15,000, could potentially increase the property's value by €18,000-€25,000 and reduce annual energy costs by €1,000-€1,500 compared to a D-rated property.
Details
- Spacious Living: The 152.0m² size of this apartment is 5.7% larger than the average property size of 144.8m² sold within a 1km radius over the past 180 days, offering more substantial living space.
- Modern Configuration: The property's 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms offer a desirable and potentially lucrative configuration, aligning with the median 2 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms within the 1km radius over the last 90 days but offering an extra bathroom for enhanced comfort and potential value.
- Hypothesis: The hotel-integrated nature of this property implies potential access to enhanced services and amenities not reflected in standard market data; future value appreciation may be significantly influenced by the continued investment and perceived luxury associated with the Intercontinental Hotel brand, potentially creating a premium independent of traditional property metrics.
Amenities
Prime Transport Hub: Residents benefit from exceptional connectivity with Dublin Bus routes 46A, 67, and 70 operating nearby, and the DART at Lansdowne Road Station is within a 10-minute walk, facilitating swift access across Dublin.
Details
- Exclusive Lifestyle Amenities: The immediate vicinity boasts high-end dining at Seasons Restaurant within the hotel itself, the Aviva Stadium for sporting events, and the expansive Herbert Park providing ample green space for recreation.
- Convenient Local Services: Numerous conveniences are within walking distance, including a local SuperValu supermarket (500m), numerous cafes like Butler's Chocolate Cafe (600m), and Merrion Village Shopping Centre (1km) for retail needs.
- Hypothesis: The unique position within the Intercontinental Hotel Dublin, while offering unparalleled convenience and luxury, may also present a slight premium for services that could be accessed more affordably off-site; however, for a buyer prioritizing seamless access to premium hotel amenities and top-tier location services, this convenience will likely continue to command a significant value premium within Ballsbridge.
