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
B Energy Rating Benefit: The B BER rating suggests good energy efficiency, likely resulting in annual energy costs of €800-€1,200 compared to €1,800-€2,200 for a D-rated property of similar size, offering immediate savings.
Details
- Optimized Space Efficiency: With 120m² of living space and 2 bedrooms, this property offers a generous 60m² per bedroom, indicating a spacious layout for its configuration, which is favourable in the current market.
- Value Enhancement Opportunity: While the BER is good, upgrading from a B to an A-rated BER could incur costs of €5,000-€10,000 but could potentially increase the property's value by €10,000-€18,000, offering a solid return on investment.
- Hypothesis: Given the B BER rating and 120m² size for a 2-bed semi-detached, the property is well-configured for its size, but the market data shows median beds at 3.0 and median baths at 2.0 within a 100km radius; this suggests that while current configuration offers space, adding a third bedroom could significantly increase its appeal and market value by a projected 15-20% if market trends favour larger family homes.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Rathnew is served by Bus Éireann route 133, providing direct links to Dublin City Centre, and is a short drive to the train station in Wicklow Town, offering commuter options.
Details
- Local Services Accessibility: The property is located near Rathnew village centre, which offers essential amenities including pharmacies, local shops, and eateries such as The Ash Cafe and externally accessible Supervalu in Wicklow Town.
- Family and Education Facilities: The area is supported by local primary schools like Wicklow Educate Together National School and St. Coen's National School, with secondary options available in nearby Wicklow Town, ensuring educational provisions for families.
- Hypothesis: The ongoing development in areas like Rathnew, coupled with the existing, albeit limited, public transport links and proximity to Wicklow Town's amenities, indicates a growing potential for increased demand as infrastructure improvements, such as enhanced bus services or local retail offerings, are implemented, potentially driving up property values by an additional 5-10% over the next 2-3 years.
