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 C2 Opportunity: A C2 BER rating suggests potential for energy efficiency upgrades. Investing €8,000-€12,000 to improve to a B2 rating could increase property value by €15,000-€20,000, while reducing annual energy costs from an estimated €1,800-€2,200 to €800-€1,200.
Generous Sizing: At 195m², this 4-bedroom detached property offers a substantial living space, aligning well with demand for larger family homes in desirable Dublin locations.
Value Optimization: While BER C2 is acceptable, focusing on cosmetic and functional upgrades could maximize value, especially given the significant asking price and proximity to higher-value areas.
Hypothesis: The C2 BER rating presents a clear, quantifiable opportunity for value enhancement and cost savings through targeted upgrades, suggesting that properties with similar size and location but an improved BER rating would command a premium of €15,000-€20,000 per rating band improvement.
