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
Generous Space: With a size of 120m², this bungalow offers ample living space, aligning well with the 'Large' size category and exceeding the 100km 90d median of 3 bedrooms, suggesting good value for space.
Details
- BER B2 Efficiency: The B2 BER rating indicates good energy efficiency; upgrading to an A-rated BER would likely cost €8,000-€12,000 but could increase property value by €15,000-€20,000 while saving approximately €1,000-€1,400 annually in energy costs compared to lower-rated properties.
- Superior Configuration: The property features 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, significantly exceeding the 100km 90d median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, making it highly attractive for larger families or those seeking extra space.
- Hypothesis: The combination of a B2 BER rating and a 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom configuration suggests that further investment in energy efficiency upgrades could maximize its appeal and value, potentially pushing its market position towards the higher end of the B2 category and beyond.
Amenities
Limited Local Connectivity: The property is located 'Outside Dublin,' and the provided data does not specify any specific bus routes, train stations, Luas, or DART stops serving Slatt Lower, Wolfhill, suggesting a reliance on private transport.
Details
- Distant Services: The nearest data points for specific amenities are for areas further afield, with no direct mentions of schools, hospitals, shopping centers, or lifestyle amenities within a clearly defined, accessible radius for this specific rural location.
- Low Local Transaction Volume: The extremely low number of sales within a 5km radius (4 sales in 180 days) and 10km radius (10 sales in 180 days) indicates a very limited local market and potentially fewer immediate local amenities.
- Hypothesis: Given the lack of specific local transport and amenity data within a close proximity and the low transaction volumes in immediate surroundings, the property's value may be heavily reliant on its intrinsic qualities and appeal to buyers seeking significant seclusion, rather than local convenience.
