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 C2 Efficiency: The C2 BER rating suggests moderate energy efficiency; an upgrade to a B2 rating could cost approximately €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase property value by €15,000-€20,000.
Space Utilisation: At 80m², the apartment offers a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom configuration, which is a common and desirable layout for families or those requiring extra space, aligning with market expectations for a 3-bed property.
Value Optimization Potential: Given the C2 BER, investing in insulation and heating upgrades could improve long-term energy costs by an estimated €500-€800 annually compared to a D-rated property, enhancing its market appeal and reducing running expenses.
Hypothesis: The C2 BER rating indicates potential for significant capital appreciation through energy efficiency upgrades, and properties in this building with similar BER ratings that have been retrofitted may achieve a price premium of up to 5-10% over comparable un-upgraded units.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: While specific bus routes and train stations serving Golden Island, Athlone are not provided in the raw data, Athlone is typically served by Bus Éireann routes and has a direct train line to Dublin Heuston.
