How we valued it €569,000

We valued it against 9 comparable 3-bed house sales in this part of Dublin 6w (within 1.6 km), weighted by distance, recency and size. These sold for a median of €591,000. This is a prime location — homes here sell for about €6,450/m², among the dearest 3% of areas in the country. Our estimate of €569,000 is about 15% above the €495,000 asking, so it looks keenly priced.
