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 Rating Opportunity: The C2 BER rating offers a potential opportunity for value enhancement through targeted energy efficiency upgrades.
Size Efficiency: At 56.0m², this 2-bedroom apartment is slightly smaller than the median of 3 bedrooms and likely less spacious than the 3-bedroom norm in areas with a median sale price of €327,000 (100km radius median).
Upgrade Potential: Upgrading from a C2 BER to a B2 rating could cost approximately €6,000-€10,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €10,000-€15,000, while reducing annual energy costs by an estimated €400-€600 compared to D-rated properties.
Hypothesis: Investing in a BER upgrade from C2 to B2 could unlock a significant portion of the property's untapped value and improve its marketability, especially as the median sale price within 10km has seen a negative price change of -1.54% over the last 30 days, indicating a segment that might reward efficiency improvements.
Amenities
Transport Links: The property is located in Arklow, Co. Wicklow, which is served by Bus Éireann routes including the 133 which connects to Dublin City Centre.
Local Services: Within Arklow town, residents have access to amenities such as Bridgewater Shopping Centre, Arklow District Hospital, and various local schools like Arklow CBS Primary School.
Walkability: Marina Village is situated near the Arklow River and Avoca River, offering potential for scenic walks, and is within reasonable proximity to the town centre's amenities.
Hypothesis: The development of enhanced public transport links directly from Arklow to Dublin, potentially through increased frequency of the 133 or the introduction of a new commuter service, could significantly boost property values in this area by improving accessibility for a wider pool of potential buyers.
