Prime location means this property will sell quickly

GOOD location, good house — which means selling No 6, Hettyfield Downs, won’t be too arduous for estate agent Paul Reid of Sherry FitzGerald.

This house is part of a flow of larger properties onto the spring market as those with gardens tend to wait until now, early March, before they sell.

Priced at €525,000, this is the average for a house in this area, it’s close to Douglas, has good schools locally and is poised to take advantage of the huge Mahon retail centre. Just before Christmas last year, a similar house with the same price tag sold for well in excess of the guide, according to the selling agent, Brian Olden of Lisney.
