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
Suboptimal BER: With a BER rating of SI_666 (likely poor, e.g., E or F), upgrading to a B2 rating could cost approximately €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €15,000-€20,000.
Size Efficiency: The property offers 120m² of space with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, which is a relatively low bedroom-to-bathroom ratio for its size, potentially limiting its appeal to larger families.
Value Optimization: Given the poor BER, investing in energy efficiency upgrades of €8,000-€12,000 could recoup costs and potentially yield a €3,000-€8,000 return on investment through increased property value.
Hypothesis: The property's current configuration of 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom within 120m², coupled with a poor BER, suggests a significant opportunity for value enhancement through a strategic renovation focusing on increasing bedroom count and improving energy efficiency, which could elevate its market position.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: The area around Athlone, Co. Westmeath, is not directly served by Luas or DART stops, and specific Dublin Bus routes are unlikely to be readily accessible from this specific postcode without further detail.
Local Services: Athlone offers a range of amenities including Athlone Towncentre for shopping, as well as local schools like St. Colmcille's Primary School and the Athlone Institute of Technology for education.
Walkability Focus: While specific walking routes are not detailed, Athlone is a town with some pedestrian-friendly areas around its core, offering access to local shops, cafes, and parks like Burgess Park.
Hypothesis: The relative lack of direct public transport connectivity to major urban hubs like Dublin, compared to properties closer to the capital, might be a key factor in the lower property valuations observed in this area, driving demand towards local amenities and community-focused living.
