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
Energy Efficiency: With a C3 BER rating, annual energy costs are estimated to be between €1,600-€2,000, compared to €800-€1,200 for an A2 rated property of similar size.
Upgrade Potential: Upgrading this C3 BER rating to a B2 would likely cost between €8,000-€12,000, with a potential to increase the property value by €15,000-€20,000.
Space Optimization: At 118m² with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, the property offers a good space-to-bedroom ratio for a family, with an average of 29.5m² per bedroom.
Hypothesis: Given the C3 BER rating, a focused investment in improving insulation and heating systems could yield a significant return on investment, not only through annual energy savings of €800-€1,400 but also by potentially increasing the property's saleability and value to a level more aligned with the median sale price of detached homes (€467,500) within the 1km radius.
Amenities
Transport Links: Arklow benefits from bus services, though specific route numbers or direct links to major city transport like DART or Luas are not detailed in the provided data.
Local Conveniences: The area offers a range of amenities including local schools like St. Mary's and secondary options, alongside retail options such as supermarkets and various shops.
Family Focus: The presence of multiple schools and likely childcare facilities, combined with green spaces, suggests a family-friendly environment with good local support services.
Hypothesis: While the provided data doesn't specify direct commuter routes, the concentration of educational facilities and retail within Arklow suggests that the local demand drivers are strong, and property values are likely influenced by accessibility to these essential services rather than solely by proximity to major urban centers.
