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 Impact: With an unknown BER rating, potential buyers face uncertainty regarding energy efficiency and associated costs, which typically implies an upgrade cost of €8,000-€12,000 to reach a B2 rating, potentially adding €15,000-€20,000 in value.
Details
- Generous Size, High Utility: The property's 402m² size offers substantial living space, significantly exceeding the 1km average of 124m² over 180 days, providing ample room for a large family or multiple uses.
- Configuration Mismatch: The property features 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, which is significantly higher than the median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms within 1km over 180 days, potentially leading to higher maintenance costs and a smaller buyer pool at its current price point.
- Hypothesis: The 'SI_666' BER rating, while appearing unusual, might indicate a specific proprietary energy assessment rather than a standard Irish BER; if it translates to a below-average energy performance, the cost of bringing it up to a 'B' rating for a 402m² property could exceed €20,000, impacting its long-term investment appeal compared to properties with known, better ratings.
Amenities
Prime Transport Hub: The property is well-served by public transport, including Dublin Bus routes 7, 47, and 113, and is within walking distance (under 1km) of the DART at Sydney Parade station, offering excellent connectivity.
Details
- Educational Proximity: Within a 1km radius, residents have access to esteemed educational institutions such as St. Andrew's College and Sandymount Park Educate Together NS, enhancing its family appeal.
- Leisure and Retail Access: The area boasts proximity to Sandymount Strand for recreation, while nearby amenities include Tesco Superstore and a variety of cafes and restaurants on Strand Road, ensuring convenience for daily living.
- Hypothesis: The high concentration of high-achieving secondary schools and proximity to coastal amenities in Sandymount, combined with the direct DART line to Dublin's city centre, suggests that this location is strongly positioned to attract affluent families and professionals seeking a premium lifestyle, which could support future value appreciation for well-maintained properties.
