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 C3 Impact: A C3 BER rating suggests potential for annual energy cost savings of approximately €800-€1,200 compared to D-rated properties of similar size, but upgrades to a B-rated standard could cost €8,000-€12,000 to improve efficiency and increase property value by €15,000-€20,000.
Details
- Generous Size Offering: With 113m² and 4 bedrooms, this property offers a larger living space than the median 3-bedroom properties recorded within a 100km radius, providing good value for its size if priced competitively.
- Upgrade Opportunity for Value: While currently a C3, investing in insulation and heating upgrades to achieve a B2 rating could cost between €8,000 and €12,000, potentially increasing the property's market value by €15,000 to €20,000.
- Hypothesis: Given the strong market demand and the potential to enhance the C3 BER rating to a B-standard for a tangible return on investment, properties like this in Monksland could see their value appreciate by an additional 5-7% over the next year if energy efficiency upgrades are undertaken.
Amenities
Transport Hub Potential: While not directly serviced by Luas or DART, Athlone town center offers bus connections including Bus Éireann routes serving regional destinations, and the M6 motorway provides strong road connectivity.
Details
- Local Services Accessibility: Residents have access to essential amenities within a short drive, including the Aldi supermarket in Monksland and Athlone Town Centre for a wider retail selection, with several primary and secondary schools nearby.
- Healthcare Proximity: The property is within reasonable proximity to Portiuncula University Hospital in Ballinasloe (approx. 30km) and local clinics in Athlone, ensuring access to medical facilities.
- Hypothesis: The lack of direct public transport links to major urban centers like Dublin may be limiting the immediate price ceiling for properties in Monksland, but planned infrastructure improvements in Athlone town, such as enhanced bus services and local amenities, could see a 3-5% increase in property values within a 5km radius over the next two years.
