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
C3 BER Rating: This property holds a C3 BER rating, which is a moderate energy efficiency score, but offers room for improvement.
Details
- Size Efficiency: With 68m² and 2 bedrooms, the property offers a reasonable space-to-bedroom ratio for its type.
- Value Optimization Opportunity: While the BER is C3, investing in minor insulation upgrades or energy-efficient appliances could potentially improve its rating and reduce ongoing energy costs, estimated at €1,800-€2,200 annually for a C3 property of this size, compared to €800-€1,200 for an A/B rated equivalent.
- Hypothesis: Given the C3 BER, a strategic investment of €5,000-€8,000 in insulation and draught-proofing could elevate the BER to a B2/B3, potentially adding €10,000-€15,000 to the property's market value and improving its appeal to energy-conscious buyers.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: The property is located in Athlone, Co. Westmeath, which is served by Bus Éireann routes, providing connectivity to surrounding towns and cities, and is approximately a 10-minute drive to Athlone Train Station for national rail services.
Details
- Local Amenities: Within Athlone town, residents have access to numerous shops including the Golden Island Shopping Centre, a variety of restaurants like Thyme Restaurant and The Olive Tree, and healthcare facilities such as the Midland Regional Hospital, Athlone.
- Educational & Family Services: The area is supported by educational institutions like Athlone Institute of Technology (now Technological University of the Shannon) and primary schools such as St. Peter's National School, along with childcare facilities.
- Hypothesis: The development of Athlone as a key hub within the Midlands, potentially boosted by future infrastructure projects or the growth of the Technological University of the Shannon, will likely drive consistent demand for well-located properties like this terrace, leading to steady, albeit not explosive, capital appreciation.
