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 Efficiency: The B2 BER rating suggests annual energy costs are estimated to be between €1,000-€1,400 lower than comparable properties with a D-rated BER, which could range from €1,800-€2,200.
Details
- Generous Proportions: At 295.0m², this property offers 223% more living space than the average property size of 91.0m² within a 5km radius, providing significant room and value.
- Investment Value Optimization: While the B2 rating is good, potential upgrades to an A-rated BER (e.g., A2) could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 and might increase property value by €15,000-€20,000, further enhancing its long-term investment appeal.
- Hypothesis: The large size and good BER rating position this property to benefit significantly from future green initiatives and energy efficiency incentives, potentially commanding a premium over less efficient, smaller homes as environmental regulations tighten.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: Public transport connectivity appears sparse, with no specific Dublin Bus, Luas, or DART routes explicitly mentioned as serving Kilmacanogue within the provided data, potentially impacting commute times to Dublin City.
Details
- Local Services Access: While specific retail and dining options for Kilmacanogue are not detailed, properties in similar semi-rural locations often rely on nearby towns like Bray or Enniskerry for a wider range of shopping, restaurants, and healthcare facilities.
- Connectivity Reliance: The absence of direct public transport links suggests a higher reliance on private vehicle ownership for accessing amenities such as St. Laurence's National School or Avoca Handweavers in nearby villages.
- Hypothesis: The location's appeal is likely tied to its scenic Wicklow setting and proximity to natural amenities rather than urban convenience, suggesting that buyers are prioritizing lifestyle and a quieter environment over immediate access to extensive public transport or a high density of urban amenities.
