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
Generous Internal Space: At 120m², this terrace property is categorized as 'Large', offering substantial living space which is well above average for a 3-bedroom home, providing excellent value per square meter.
Details
- Bathroom Modernisation Opportunity: With 1.0 bathroom, compared to the local median of 2.0 bathrooms within a 5km radius over the past 180 days, upgrading to a second bathroom could significantly enhance the property's appeal and market value.
- BER Upgrade Investment: Given the 'SI_666' (Unknown) BER rating, investing €8,000-€12,000 to achieve a B2 rating could potentially increase the property value by €15,000-€20,000 and reduce annual energy costs from an estimated €1,800-€2,200 (for D-rated equivalent) to €800-€1,200.
- Hypothesis: The property's larger-than-median size for a 3-bed home, coupled with its single bathroom and unknown BER, indicates it is likely an older build ripe for modern refurbishment; a strategic investment in energy efficiency and an additional bathroom could transform it into a premium asset well-positioned to outperform local market averages.
Amenities
Central Transport Hub: This property benefits from proximity to Athlone Train Station (approx. 1.5-2km), providing Irish Rail services to Dublin and Galway, and excellent access to Bus Éireann intercity routes like the X20/X20A (Dublin-Galway) and local bus services within Athlone, enhancing commuter convenience.
Details
- Comprehensive Local Facilities: Situated near Athlone town centre, residents have convenient access to extensive shopping at Athlone Towncentre and Golden Island Shopping Centre, diverse dining options along the River Shannon, and healthcare at local GP clinics and pharmacies, with Regional Hospital Mullingar and Portiuncula University Hospital providing further medical support within a reasonable drive.
- Family & Lifestyle Appeal: The location is ideal for families, with reputable educational institutions like Athlone Community College and St. Paul's Primary School within a short distance, alongside recreational amenities such as Athlone Regional Sports Centre and local green spaces like Burgess Park, fostering a high quality of life.
- Hypothesis: The property's location on Magazine Avenue, within walking distance of Athlone's commercial core and historical sites like Athlone Castle, suggests it is strategically positioned to benefit from ongoing town centre regeneration projects and tourism growth, potentially increasing its rental yield and long-term capital appreciation as Athlone solidifies its role as a regional hub.
