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
Costly BER Upgrade: The G BER rating necessitates substantial investment, with estimated costs of €15,000-€20,000 to upgrade to a B2 rating, which could increase property value by €25,000-€30,000.
Details
- Below-Average Size: At 120m², this property is average in size compared to the median of 120m² for 3-bed properties within a 10km radius, but its G BER rating significantly detracts from its overall quality appeal.
- Low Energy Efficiency: The G BER rating suggests annual energy costs could range from €2,000-€2,800, compared to €900-€1,300 for C-rated properties of similar size in the vicinity.
- Hypothesis: Given the significant cost and potential value uplift associated with improving the G BER rating to at least a C grade (€10,000-€15,000 investment for a potential €15,000-€20,000 value increase), the property represents a value-add opportunity for investors willing to undertake renovations, potentially unlocking significant equity.
Amenities
Limited Local Transport: While Arklow is served by Bus Éireann routes (e.g., 133 to Dublin), there are no DART or Luas services directly within Arklow, requiring significant travel for rail connectivity.
Details
- Essential Local Services: The property is within proximity to essential amenities including Arklow District Hospital, numerous pharmacies, and supermarkets like Tesco and Lidl.
- Family & Education Hub: Nearby educational facilities include St. Mary's College and Scoil Átha Cliath Primary School, alongside childcare options like Bright Beginnings Creche.
- Hypothesis: The positioning of 3 Fogartys Terrace on South Quay, Arklow, offers a balance of local convenience with access to essential services and schools, but its value proposition for commuters could be significantly enhanced by future infrastructure developments that improve direct rail links to major employment hubs.
