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 Investment: With an 'E' BER rating, this property presents a clear opportunity; investing approximately €15,000-€25,000 in energy upgrades to achieve a B2 rating could potentially increase the property's value by €25,000-€40,000.
Significant Energy Savings Potential: The current 'E' BER rating translates to estimated annual energy costs of €1,800-€2,200; improving to a 'B' rating could dramatically reduce these costs, saving homeowners €1,000-€1,400 annually.
Spacious Configuration: At 104m² with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, this semi-detached property offers more bedrooms than the median 3-bedroom homes sold in the 3km radius, providing ample living space ideal for family needs.
Hypothesis: As energy efficiency becomes a paramount factor for buyers, properties with lower BER ratings like 'E' will increasingly be viewed as renovation projects, offering a 'value-add' proposition for those willing to invest, thereby creating distinct tiers in market pricing.
Amenities
Exceptional Commuter Connectivity: Residents benefit from excellent public transport links, including the Bray DART Station for direct rail access to Dublin City Centre, complemented by numerous Dublin Bus routes such as the 145, 84, and 84A, ensuring extensive regional connections.
Abundant Educational & Healthcare Facilities: The area is well-equipped with highly-regarded primary schools like St. Cronan's B.N.S. and Gaelscoil Uí Cheadaigh, secondary schools such as Presentation College Bray and Loreto Secondary School, and convenient healthcare access via Bray Primary Care Centre and local pharmacies.
Vibrant Lifestyle & Retail Hub: The property is ideally situated near the renowned Bray Head Cliff Walk and scenic Bray Promenade, offering significant lifestyle advantages, alongside convenient access to major supermarkets like SuperValu and Tesco, and the Shoreline Leisure Centre Bray.
Hypothesis: Sustained and planned improvements to Bray's public transport infrastructure, particularly enhancements to DART service frequency and expansion of feeder bus routes, will solidify Ardmore Park's appeal as a prime Dublin commuter base, driving long-term property value appreciation.
