Allsop Residential’s latest
auction, which took place on Thursday 26 September, has demonstrated that there
is still strong demand for residential development opportunities and
well-priced stock by selling 174 lots at a success rate of 70% and raising £61
million.
That result means that Allsop
Residential’s total for the year is now £376; add in Allsop Commercial auctions
and the group as a whole has now sold £868m of property at auction so far this
year.
The biggest selling lot
on the day was a freehold site in Clapham North, London SW9. With
pre-application advice supporting conversion to provide 16 new residential
dwellings, it sold for £3.44 million against a guide price of £3 million.
Other notable sales included a
long leasehold garage/workshop comprising over 3,000 sq ft in Chelsea, with
potential a number of other alternative uses, which sold for £1.6 million
against a guide price of £1 million; £1.59 million for two freehold buildings
in Leeds, internally arranged to provide 18 x two bedroom flats fully let at a
total rent of £118,740 per annum; and a long leasehold three bedroom flat in
