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 Rating Drag: With a D2 BER rating, the estimated annual energy costs for this 129m² bungalow could range from €1,800 to €2,200, significantly higher than for better-rated properties.
Details
- Upgrade Potential: Upgrading the BER from D2 to a B2 rating would likely cost between €8,000 and €12,000 but could increase the property's value by €15,000 to €20,000, offering a tangible return on investment.
- Size vs. Configuration: While 129m² is a substantial size, only having 1 bathroom for 3 bedrooms is a configuration mismatch for many buyers and may limit its appeal and resale value.
- Hypothesis: The D2 BER rating and single bathroom configuration represent a significant opportunity for value enhancement. Investing in insulation, heating upgrades, and potentially a second bathroom could transform this property into a more competitive and valuable asset, bridging the gap between its current asking price and achievable market value.
Amenities
Limited Direct Transport: The area of Donard, Co. Wicklow, is not directly served by Dublin Bus routes, Luas, or DART stations, indicating reliance on private transport.
Details
- Local Services Access: While specific local amenities like schools, shops, and healthcare facilities serving Kilbaylet Lower directly are not detailed in the provided data, its 'outside Dublin' classification suggests they would be dispersed and potentially require travel.
- Commuter Challenges: The lack of immediate public transport links to Dublin means commuters may face longer travel times and a higher reliance on personal vehicles.
- Hypothesis: The absence of direct public transport links and its rural location suggest that any future infrastructure development, such as improved regional bus services or park-and-ride facilities connecting to a major transport hub, would significantly boost property values in this specific micro-location.
