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
Urgent Energy Upgrade Needed: With an F BER rating, this property requires significant energy efficiency improvements, potentially costing €18,000-€28,000 to upgrade to a B2 rating, but could increase property value by €30,000-€50,000.
Details
- High Running Costs: An F-rated property of this size (74m²) faces estimated annual energy costs of €2,500-€3,500, substantially higher than the €1,000-€1,500 for a more efficient B2-rated home, resulting in €1,500-€2,000 annual savings post-upgrade.
- Below Average Bathroom Count: The property's single bathroom falls below the median of 2 bathrooms for properties sold within a 5km radius over the past 180 days, potentially impacting its appeal to larger families or multi-occupant households.
- Hypothesis: The combination of a low BER and a single bathroom in a 3-bedroom house suggests an older property that presents a prime opportunity for a buyer willing to invest in modernization, potentially yielding significant capital appreciation and improved living standards.
Amenities
Robust Commuter Links: The property benefits from excellent transport connectivity with Bus Éireann Route 133 offering direct services to Dublin, and Wicklow Town Train Station (approx. 4km) providing regular commuter rail links to Dublin Pearse and Connolly stations.
Details
- Comprehensive Local Facilities: Residents have easy access to essential amenities in Wicklow Town, including major supermarkets like Tesco Extra and Dunnes Stores (both within 5km), multiple GP practices, and the local Wicklow General Hospital.
- Family-Friendly Environment: The area supports families with Rathnew National School (approx. 2km) and Colaiste Cill Mhantain (Wicklow Town, approx 4km) nearby, alongside recreational options such as the Wicklow Leisure Centre and coastal attractions.
- Hypothesis: While Ballybeg offers a tranquil semi-rural setting, its immediate proximity to Rathnew village and the extensive amenities of Wicklow Town, coupled with direct Dublin transport, position it as an increasingly desirable commuter belt location for those seeking a balance between country living and city access, especially with ongoing infrastructure improvements.
