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 that upgrading to a B2 could cost approximately €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, and reducing annual energy costs by an estimated €500-€1,000 compared to D-rated properties.
Details
- Size Advantage: With 120m², this apartment is a large unit for its type, offering more space than the typical 3-bedroom apartments (median beds: 3) seen in the broader market (100km radius), providing a comfortable living environment.
- Value Optimization Opportunity: The €37,578 difference between the estimated value and the asking price, coupled with a C1 BER rating, indicates a clear opportunity for a buyer to invest in energy efficiency upgrades to unlock further capital appreciation and reduce ongoing costs.
- Hypothesis: Given the €37,578 gap between the estimated value and the asking price, and a C1 BER rating, an investment of €10,000 in energy efficiency upgrades could not only secure immediate capital growth but also position the property to benefit from a potential €1,500 annual saving on energy bills if comparable to D-rated properties, making it a financially prudent long-term decision.
Amenities
Connectivity Assessment: While specific bus routes, train stations (like Athy train station), or Luas/DART stops are not detailed, the 'outside Dublin' location suggests potential reliance on bus services like Bus Éireann routes serving the Kildare region, and potential longer commutes to major transport hubs.
Details
- Local Services Access: Athy town offers a range of amenities including Lidl and SuperValu supermarkets, primary schools such as St. Leo's National School, and secondary schools like Athy Vocational School, providing essential local services within reasonable proximity.
- Lifestyle and Recreation: Residents can access local dining options in Athy town, parks like Woodstock Demesne, and healthcare facilities such as the Athy Primary Care Centre, contributing to a balanced lifestyle outside of a major urban centre.
- Hypothesis: The presence of Athy train station, offering direct links to Dublin Heuston, combined with the expanding infrastructure plans for Co. Kildare aimed at improving connectivity, suggests that properties in areas like Marina Court will see increased commuter appeal and associated value growth as transport links become more robust and efficient, potentially reducing travel time to Dublin.
