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 C Value: With a C BER rating, this apartment likely has annual energy costs of €1,400-€1,800, compared to €1,800-€2,200 for D-rated properties of similar size in the area.
Efficient Size: At 63m², this 2-bedroom apartment offers a good balance of living space and efficiency for its type, aligning well with typical apartment configurations.
Value Optimization: While BER C is acceptable, upgrading to a B2 rating could cost €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, offering a strong return on investment.
Hypothesis: Given the C BER rating and the prevalence of similar apartment types in the area, focusing on enhancing insulation and window efficiency could yield a disproportionately high value increase, potentially adding €500-€800 per sqm to the property's valuation due to its prime marina location.
Amenities
Transport Links: Arklow Train Station is approximately 2km away, offering direct services to Dublin Connolly, and Bus Éireann routes such as 131 and 133 serve the town, connecting to Dublin City.
Local Conveniences: Residents have access to a range of shops and supermarkets including Bridgewater Shopping Centre within 1.5km, and local pharmacies and clinics in Arklow town centre.
Recreational Access: The property is situated near Arklow Bay, providing walking routes along the coast, and is a short drive to local parks like Pearse Memorial Park and various restaurants and cafes in Marina Village and the town.
Hypothesis: The proximity to the marina and potential for improved local transport links, such as a dedicated shuttle service to the train station or enhanced bus frequency, could significantly boost walkability scores and commute convenience, positively impacting property values by an estimated 5-8%.
