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 Improvement Opportunity: Upgrading the C3 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €15,000-€20,000 and reducing annual energy costs by approximately €1,000-€1,400 compared to a D-rated property.
Details
- Generous Sizing: At 120m², this apartment offers 33% more space than the median 2-bedroom apartment typically found in areas with a 3.0 median bed count, providing a significant advantage in perceived value and liveability.
- Configuration Alignment: With 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the property aligns with the median market preference of 2 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms within a 10km radius, suggesting a desirable and functional layout for potential buyers.
- Hypothesis: The current C3 BER rating, while average for the region, presents a clear opportunity for capital appreciation through targeted energy efficiency upgrades; investing in a BER upgrade to a B-rating could unlock an immediate return on investment of over 100% on the upgrade cost within two years, based on estimated value uplift and energy savings.
Amenities
Connectivity Gaps: Moate, Co. Westmeath, is not directly served by Luas, DART, or major national train lines, with the nearest train station likely requiring travel to Athlone (approx. 15km) and bus services being primarily local or regional, impacting commuter convenience to major employment hubs like Dublin.
Details
- Local Services Availability: While specific amenity data for Moate is limited in the provided metrics, general knowledge suggests local access to essential services like supermarkets, pharmacies, and primary schools, with Athlone providing a broader retail and healthcare offering within a short drive.
- Walkability Assessment: The property's address in Cartron Court suggests a potentially suburban or estate-like setting, likely offering good walkability to local Moate amenities such as shops and the town centre, but access to larger parks or recreational facilities would require travel.
- Hypothesis: The lack of direct high-speed public transport connectivity from Moate to major urban centres like Dublin means that properties in this location are primarily valued based on local amenities and community appeal, rather than commuter potential, suggesting that future value growth will be more sensitive to local infrastructure improvements and the town's own economic development rather than broader transport network expansions.
