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.

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: To improve from a D1 BER rating to a C2, an investment of €8,000-€12,000 is estimated, which could potentially increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000 based on local market trends for energy-efficient homes.
Generous Size: At 150.0m², this four-bedroom, two-bathroom detached house offers a substantial living space, which is generally well-received in suburban markets.
Value Optimization: While the D1 BER necessitates upgrades, the property's size and configuration present an opportunity to optimize its market appeal and value through targeted energy efficiency improvements and modernizations.
Hypothesis: Given the D1 BER rating, the market value uplift from improving to a B2 rating in this locale could exceed €25,000, driven by both long-term running cost savings and a stronger buyer preference for energy-efficient homes, especially outside the immediate Dublin commuter belt.
Amenities
Limited Direct Public Transport: There are no specific bus routes, Luas, or DART stations mentioned as directly serving A67YK75, Rathdrum, indicating reliance on private transport for connectivity.
Local Educational Access: While specific schools are not detailed in the provided data, Rathdrum generally offers primary and secondary educational facilities, catering to family needs.
Rural Lifestyle Focus: Amenities likely cater to a rural or semi-rural lifestyle, with potential access to local shops, cafes in Rathdrum town, and nearby natural attractions like Glendalough, enhancing quality of life.
Hypothesis: The lack of direct public transport links to major urban centers suggests that properties in Rathdrum, Co. Wicklow, are valued more for their lifestyle and scenic advantages rather than for commuter convenience, potentially limiting the buyer pool to those seeking a quieter pace of life or working remotely.
