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 Opportunity: The 'SI_666' BER rating indicates an unknown energy performance, but assuming it falls into a lower category, upgrading to a B2 rating could cost between €8,000-€12,000.
Details
- Value Enhancement Potential: Such a BER upgrade not only reduces estimated annual energy costs from €1,800-€2,200 to €800-€1,200, saving €1,000-€1,400 annually, but could also increase the property's market value by €15,000-€20,000.
- Size vs. Configuration: With 120m² classified as 'Large' for a detached property, yet featuring only 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, there is significant potential for reconfiguring the layout to add an extra bedroom or bathroom, aligning closer to the 3-4 bed, 2-bath median in the 10km radius.
- Hypothesis: Given its 'Large' size and 2-bedroom configuration, this property presents a unique opportunity for buyers to invest in a conversion project to add a third bedroom, potentially unlocking an additional €25,000-€40,000 in market value by better aligning with the prevalent family home demand in the Athlone area.
Amenities
Regional Transport Hub: Located near Athlone, residents benefit from accessibility to Athlone Train Station, providing direct rail links to Dublin and Galway, with local bus services available within Athlone town for closer connectivity.
Details
- Education & Healthcare Access: The property is within reach of key educational institutions such as Technological University of the Shannon (TUS) Athlone Campus and various local schools like St. Mary's National School, while healthcare is supported by Athlone Primary Care Centre and pharmacies in Athlone town.
- Shopping & Lifestyle: Athlone town offers comprehensive retail options at Athlone Towncentre and Golden Island Shopping Centre, along with lifestyle amenities like Athlone Regional Sports Centre and the historic Athlone Castle, though a car is essential for accessing most services from Fardrum.
- Hypothesis: While Tully, Fardrum offers a quieter, semi-rural setting outside Athlone's immediate core, its proximity to the town's diverse amenities and national transport links positions it as an appealing choice for buyers seeking both space and convenience, particularly if future local development improves public transport links directly serving the Fardrum area.
