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 Improvement Potential: Upgrading the D2 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase property value by €15,000-€20,000, representing a smart investment opportunity.
Details
- Energy Cost Comparison: Current annual energy costs for a D2 rated property of this size are estimated at €1,800-€2,200, which is significantly higher than the €800-€1,200 for properties with a B2 rating.
- Size and Configuration: At 85.0m² with 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, this bungalow is a standard configuration but the single bathroom may be a limiting factor for larger families or guests, potentially impacting resale value compared to properties with 1.5 or 2 bathrooms within a 5km radius where the median is 2.0.
- Hypothesis: Given that 100% of properties within 100km have an unknown BER rating in the provided data, and assuming this trend extends locally, there's a significant opportunity to differentiate this property by achieving a higher BER, which could command a premium in a market where energy efficiency information is scarce.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: While Wicklow Town itself is served by Bus Éireann routes like 184 and 185 connecting to Dublin, direct DART or Luas links are not immediately available, requiring onward travel to a station like Greystones (DART) or Bray (DART), which is approximately a 20-30 minute drive.
Details
- Local Facilities: The area benefits from amenities such as Wicklow Town Centre offering a range of retail options including SuperValu and Lidl, alongside local pharmacies like McCauley Pharmacy and healthcare facilities such as Wicklow Primary Care Centre.
- Educational and Family Services: Nearby educational facilities include St. Mary's National School and Colaiste Chill Mhantáin, with local childcare options present within Wicklow Town, supporting family needs in the immediate vicinity.
- Hypothesis: The development of enhanced public transport links, such as a more direct bus service to a DART station or a park-and-ride facility, could significantly boost property values in Wicklow Town by improving commuter access to Dublin, making this area more attractive to a wider pool of buyers.
