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 Advantage: The B2 BER rating suggests this property is performing well energy-wise, likely costing €1,800-€2,200 annually in energy bills compared to a D-rated property of similar size in the same area which could cost €2,800-€3,200.
Details
- Size Efficiency: With a size of 100m², this property offers a good balance for a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom end-of-terrace, aligning with market preferences where the median beds and baths are 3 and 2 respectively within 100km.
- Value Optimization Opportunity: Upgrading the BER rating from B2 to a B1 or A rating could involve costs of €5,000-€8,000 and potentially add €8,000-€12,000 in value, further enhancing its market appeal and long-term energy savings.
- Hypothesis: Given the B2 BER rating, the property is positioned well, but a strategic investment to achieve an A-rated BER, costing approximately €5,000-€10,000, could unlock a further 5-8% in property value increase and significantly reduce operational costs for future buyers.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: While specific routes are not detailed, its 'Outside Dublin' location implies reliance on local bus services, likely with connections to larger transport hubs, but direct access to Luas or DART is unlikely within immediate walking distance.
Details
- Local Amenities Access: Newcastle, Co. Wicklow, typically offers a range of local amenities, including primary schools like Newcastle National School, local shops, and potentially sports facilities, catering to a community feel.
- Commuter Considerations: Properties outside Dublin, like this one, often serve commuters, meaning proximity to N7 or M50 motorways is crucial for access to Dublin City, which would require driving and likely involve a commute of 45+ minutes during peak hours.
- Hypothesis: The 'Outside Dublin' location suggests that while local community amenities are present, the property's appeal to Dublin-based commuters will heavily depend on the actual driving time to major arterial routes and the availability of park-and-ride facilities for public transport, which are not explicitly detailed but are critical value drivers.
