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 Improvement Opportunity: Upgrading the D2 BER rating to a B2 could cost approximately €8,000-€12,000 and is estimated to increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, offering a solid return on investment.
Details
- Space Efficiency: With 122m² of living space and 4 bedrooms, this property offers a good balance for family living, aligning with the 4+ bedroom category which represents 43.3% of listings within 10km over the last 30 days.
- Value Optimization: Given the D2 BER, investing in energy efficiency upgrades is crucial; for properties of this size (122m²), a D2 rating could incur annual energy costs of €1,800-€2,200, compared to €800-€1,200 for B-rated homes.
- Hypothesis: The current D2 BER rating, while manageable with upgrades, may be a significant deterrent in a market where properties with higher BER ratings (A/B/C) within a 10km radius have seen a price growth rate of 0.18% in the last 30 days, indicating a growing buyer preference for energy-efficient homes.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: While specific routes are not provided, Wicklow Town is generally served by Bus Éireann routes, offering potential connectivity to Dublin, and is within reach of the national rail network via Wicklow Train Station (approx. 3km).
Details
- Local Facilities: The area benefits from proximity to essential services such as Wicklow Town Centre, including shops like Tesco and SuperValu, and healthcare access through pharmacies and the St. Columcille's Hospital (approx. 15km).
- Green Space Access: Residents can enjoy the coastal environment with access to Wicklow Beach and numerous local parks like Blackwood Forest Nature Reserve (approx. 5km), promoting an active lifestyle.
- Hypothesis: Despite Wicklow Town's inherent appeal, the absence of immediate access to rapid transit systems like the DART or Luas within a walkable distance (unlike properties closer to Dublin) limits its commuter value and may contribute to its relative underpricing compared to commuter belt towns with direct rail links.
