Ailesbury Road sales test market

Does uncertainty in the Embassy belt mean a loss of nerve elsewhere? Houses on Ailesbury Road have been prime auction fodder in the past few years, with agents vying to bang the hammer down on the prestigious piles. This week two houses on the leafy Dublin 4 road came on the market and - shock, horror - one is being sold by humble private treaty, prompting a new round of "state of the market" auction fatigue debates. Guide price watchers should note that number 83 has a price tag set by HOK Residential of over £4 million (#5.08m), while the house going to auction, number 3, has a pre-auction guide price of £3.6 million (#4.57) through Gunne Residential.
