Grand, bar a few jobs.

Automated buyer report from public data. An estimate, not a valuation or a survey. How we build this.
Is Windgate Road worth the asking price?
Asking above our estimated range. The asking price is 57% above our €1,118,000 midpoint.
If you bid, think in €1,006,000 to €1,230,000. Opening near €976,000 would be aggressive in this market. A house needing this much work usually closes below the asking after negotiation.
Needs modernisation. The house needs work, so our estimate sits lower than the bare numbers would put it. A low price here reflects the work, not a bargain.
Asking price divided by the 308 m² floor area. Too few comparable homes for sale nearby to rank it.
4 comparable sales within 3 km in the last two years, and 4 comparable homes for sale in the area. Estimates at this confidence land within 20% of the sale price about 58% of the time.
The house needs modernisation, so the estimate sits below what the size and location alone would give.
Price trend, Dublin
Change in the CSO Residential Property Price Index for Dublin, to May 2026. A regional trend, not this exact house.
What it costs a month
About €7,670 a month on a 90% mortgage over 30 years at a typical current rate, plus property tax. Work it out for your own deposit.
How we estimate
We take recent sold prices from the Property Price Register, adjust each to today's money with the CSO price index, and weight them by how close and how recent they are. We blend that with a model trained on 5,000 matched sales that knows how price moves with floor area, bedrooms, BER, type and area, and we correct for condition read. Our estimate is the blend; the range is where 80% of homes like this actually sold.
Tested on sales the model had never seen: half land within 8% of the sale price, four in five within 20%. It never sees the survey. An estimate, not a valuation.

What should I check before I sign?
BER C2, reasonable, short of the green-rate threshold. Comfortable enough, but under the B3 most lenders want for a green mortgage discount. The discount is modest (roughly 0.1–0.35 points) but the comfort gain is real. Ask what would get it to B3 and price that against the rate saving.
Inside the National Broadband Plan intervention area. Commercial operators did not cover this address, so it depends on the State rollout. Where the build is complete the connection is free; where it is not, you are on whatever copper or satellite is available. Check the NBI rollout status for this Eircode before you bid, and ask the occupants what they actually get.
9 must-do checks, tailored to this house. Budget €3.5k to €7.0k for the paid ones.
