There is a rule of thumb to come to a rough estimate of the value of a house:
The value of your house is roughly 10 years’ worth of rents.
So, if for example you think you could rent your home for €1,000 per month, your house could be valued at €120,000.

This is at least what an investor would be happy to pay for your house. But it may be far from it´s actual market value.
The reality is that there is not a formula one can use to come to a definite value of a property.

The market value of a house will depend on many factors.

For example, the location, the size, layout, any special features, the crime rate in the area, the risk of flooding, the overall condition, age, transport links, how far it is from local amenities and schools, market fluctuation, etc.
