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 Upgrade Potential: The SI_666 BER rating suggests significant scope for improvement; upgrading from this low rating to a B2 could cost €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase property value by €15,000-€20,000, representing a sound investment.
Details
- Adequate Size for Configuration: At 120m² with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the property offers a reasonable size, but a higher bedroom count might be more aligned with the 3-bedroom median found in the 100km radius market.
- Value Optimization Needed: Given the low BER rating, significant investment in insulation, heating systems, and window upgrades would be necessary to optimize its market value and energy efficiency, potentially costing €8,000-€12,000 to achieve a B2 rating.
- Hypothesis: The SI_666 BER rating indicates a property built before modern energy efficiency standards, meaning that a comprehensive retrofitting program, focusing on heat retention and renewable energy integration, could not only align it with market expectations but also provide a unique selling proposition in a region increasingly prioritizing sustainability.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Athlone town offers access to Bus Éireann services, with key routes like the 423 and 446 connecting to surrounding towns and cities; the nearest train station is Athlone Railway Station, providing rail links.
Details
- Local Amenities: The area is served by amenities such as Aldi and Lidl supermarkets, Buccaneers Rugby Football Club, and within a short drive, the Athlone Towncentre shopping centre for retail needs.
- Healthcare Access: Nearby healthcare facilities include Bon Secours Hospital Athlone and numerous local pharmacies and GP clinics, ensuring accessible medical services.
- Hypothesis: While Athlone offers decent amenities and transport, its rural location outside the immediate Dublin commuter belt means its property value is primarily driven by local employment and regional development, rather than being influenced by Dublin's rapid transit networks like Luas or DART.
