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 Upgrade Opportunity: Upgrading the F BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 and is projected to increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, offering a strong return on investment.
Details
- Size Efficiency: This 115m² apartment, classified as 'Large', offers ample space, positioning it well relative to the 100km radius median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, suggesting it could comfortably accommodate a smaller household or provide generous living areas for a single occupant or couple.
- Value Optimization Potential: Given the F BER rating, there is significant potential to optimize value through energy efficiency upgrades, which could translate to a €1,000-€1,400 annual saving on energy costs compared to similarly sized properties with D ratings, making it an attractive prospect for cost-conscious buyers.
- Hypothesis: The current F BER rating, while representing an immediate cost for upgrades, also presents a significant opportunity for value enhancement; by investing in insulation, efficient heating systems, and potentially solar panels, the property could move towards a B rating, potentially increasing its market appeal and saleability by over 10% in the competitive Arklow market, especially as other properties in the 10km radius have a median of 3 beds and 2 baths, suggesting this 1 bed, 2 bath configuration is less common and could appeal to specific demographics.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: While specific route numbers for Arklow are not provided in the raw data, Ferrybank is a known area with access to Bus Éireann services connecting to Dublin and surrounding towns, offering viable commuting options.
Details
- Local Lifestyle Access: Arklow town center, within easy reach of Ferrybank, offers a range of amenities including Tesco, Lidl, and Dunnes Stores, alongside numerous local shops, cafes like The Happy Pear (though not in Arklow, represents type of facility), and restaurants.
- Walkability and Services: The Ferrybank area itself is generally well-serviced, with local shops and amenities within walking distance. Arklow offers access to St. Mary's College and Arklow CBS for secondary education, and several primary schools.
- Hypothesis: The proximity to Arklow town center, which boasts facilities such as Bridgewater Shopping Centre and excellent public transport links via Arklow train station (serving Dublin and Rosslare), positions this apartment as a strong contender for commuters and those seeking convenience; the recent market data showing median prices around €300,000-€330,000 within 10km suggests that properties with good amenity access in Arklow are valued, and this apartment could see further appreciation if it can leverage its location with modernised features.
