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 Uncertainty: With a BER rating of 'BER_PENDING', potential buyers cannot assess current energy efficiency or estimate annual heating costs, which could range from €1,800-€2,800 compared to a C1 rating potentially saving €500-€1,000 annually.
Substantial Size: The property's generous 347m² size offers ample living space, exceeding the typical footprint of many homes in this price bracket, providing significant value in terms of usable area.
Value Optimisation: For a property of this size and potential value, achieving a BER rating of B2 or higher could significantly enhance its marketability and long-term value, potentially adding €20,000-€30,000 to its resale value with an estimated upgrade cost of €10,000-€15,000.
Hypothesis: Given the large size and 'BER_PENDING' status, investing in a high BER rating (A2-B2) could unlock significant capital appreciation, as the market increasingly prioritizes energy efficiency for large homes, potentially justifying an additional €1,000-€1,500 in annual energy savings and a premium of €30,000-€50,000 on its future sale price.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: While located outside Dublin, the proximity to Main Street suggests potential access to bus routes like Dublin Bus 65 and 44 serving the general Wicklow area, facilitating travel to larger towns and potentially Dublin.
Local Services: Newcastle village offers essential amenities including local shops, pharmacies like Newcastle Pharmacy, and primary education at Scoil Naomh Eoin, providing convenient daily services for residents.
Green Spaces & Recreation: The area is well-positioned for access to natural amenities, with nearby walking routes through the Wicklow countryside and proximity to attractions like Brittas Bay beach, offering a high quality of life.
Hypothesis: Despite being outside the immediate Dublin commuter belt, the combination of accessible local services and proximity to natural amenities in Co. Wicklow could increasingly appeal to buyers seeking a more balanced lifestyle, potentially driving demand and a distinct premium for properties offering this blend over purely commuter-focused locations.
