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 Impact: The C1 BER rating suggests moderate energy efficiency; upgrading to a B2 could cost approximately €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase property value by €15,000-€20,000.
Space Efficiency: With 158m² and 4 bedrooms, the property offers approximately 39.5m² per bedroom, which is a good size for a family home.
Value Optimization Potential: While the C1 BER is respectable, focusing on insulation and heating upgrades could further enhance its market appeal and reduce annual energy costs, estimated to be around €1,500-€2,000 compared to a D-rated property's €2,200-€2,800.
Hypothesis: Given the €90,632.16 price standard deviation within 1km, properties of similar size and type are experiencing significant price variations, suggesting that features like a C1 BER and the number of bathrooms (4) are key differentiators that buyers are willing to pay a premium for.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: The property is located outside Dublin and data does not specify direct bus routes, train stations, Luas or DART stops serving this specific address, suggesting potential reliance on private transport.
Local Services Access: While specific amenities are not detailed, its location in Athlone, Co Westmeath, generally offers access to essential services like supermarkets, schools, and healthcare facilities typical of a regional town.
Family Amenities Proximity: Being a detached 4-bedroom house, it's likely situated in an area with potential for family-oriented amenities such as local parks and schools, which are common in residential estates like Cartrontroy Heights.
Hypothesis: The absence of specific public transport data within the provided metrics for N37PD70 suggests that properties in Cartrontroy Heights may command a premium based on their drive-time accessibility to amenities rather than their walkability or proximity to public transit hubs.
