* Initial entry found.

I have been using the Property Bee on daft since 9th Feb 2008. I visit the Dundrum Balinteer etc pages at least every second day. So how can this person say REDUCED. How was it reduced? Did they set a price in their head and then reduce it and then advertise after the mental change?
I wonder is this ad illegal.

Here's the link you forgot to include:

I do find it interesting that they are saying 455k is reduced when this google cache page shows them charging 425k in march:

The cache is for 29 Mar 2008 00:09:34. So they plainly have not reduced the price. They have plainly increased the price. So this is false advertising. I think I'll give them a ring in the morning.

Yes they have. They've reduced the price by minus €30k.

Should that be reported as false advertising??

On the face of it, if as the evidence here suggests the price has not in fact been reduced then yes it should be reported.

The owner probably knows that the place is really "worth" €550k, so to him/her it is a big price reduction. We don't know how lucky we are to be given this opportunity to buy a bargain.

There is absolutely no point whatsoever contacting ASAI.
You're talking about websites. ASAI doesn't do websites.
According to ASAI websites are not Advertisements.

A call to Daft might be more useful.

Also, mention the address a few more times on this thread, so potential buyers googling their potential new address find this page.

That's:
135 Southmede, Dundrum,
Dublin 14,
South Dublin City

Once again:
135 Southmede, Dundrum,
Dublin 14,

The thread title should be edited to include "135 Southmede" too so it is highlighted in search engine results.

e.g. "135 Southmede. Reduced they say. Property Bee says no."

It's already #1 in google.ie for 135 southmede

[pedantry ]

it is important to stress that you are complaining about a paid for ad on a third party website.

The asai does not regulate lies on an estates agent own website but only where they pay for the ad on another website [/pedantry ]

Best complain about 135 Southmede pronto .

Reduced they say. Property Bee says no.
