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 Opportunity: Improving the C3 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000.
Details
- Spacious Living: With a size of 226.0m², this bungalow offers 28% more space than the median of 176m² typically seen in properties within a 100km radius, providing ample room for a family.
- Energy Cost Comparison: A C3 BER rating suggests annual energy costs of €1,300-€1,700 for a property of this size, compared to €800-€1,200 for a B-rated property, highlighting potential savings with upgrades.
- Hypothesis: The current BER rating of C3, while not poor, suggests that the significant asking price premium over comparable sold properties cannot be solely attributed to energy efficiency, implying that buyers in this specific rural market may place less emphasis on BER ratings than in urban areas, or that the property's condition requires further investment beyond energy upgrades to justify its asking price.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: Glenealy village is not directly served by major bus routes or train stations; the nearest options would likely involve significant travel to towns like Wicklow or Bray, requiring private transport for most journeys.
Details
- Rural Lifestyle Amenities: Local amenities in Glenealy itself are sparse, likely comprising a primary school and a local shop, with broader retail and dining options concentrated in larger centres like Wicklow Town (approx. 10km away).
- Commuter Challenge: The location outside Dublin, without direct public transport links, suggests a substantial commute time and reliance on a private vehicle for accessing employment centres in Dublin or surrounding towns.
- Hypothesis: The property's rural location in Glenealy, Co. Wicklow, lacking direct public transport connections and extensive local amenities, points to a buyer profile seeking a secluded lifestyle rather than convenience for commuting or frequent access to urban facilities, which may limit the pool of potential buyers and influence future resale value compared to properties with better connectivity.
