Allsop have announced details of their September Online Auction which will see over 220 residential and commercial properties with a total reserve of over €33m go under the virtual hammer – Allsop’s largest Online Auction to date. The auction takes place on Tuesday 13th September and all of the properties can be viewed here.
Bidding will open at 8am on 13th September and, in order to accommodate such a large volume of properties, a lot will close every two minutes from 10am until 5.30pm. On the day, bidding is expected to get underway immediately – Allsop’s previous Online Auction in July saw bids start to come in just 16 seconds after the lots were opened.
The commercial offering features 118 properties with a total reserve of over €17m. Allsop began selling commercial assets via their Online Auction method in March 2016 and the success of the commercial offering at each auction – a 93% success rate and sales on average 40% over the reserve price – suggests an appetite among commercial investors for the ease and transparency provided by the Allsop Online Auction process.
The residential catalogue totals 110 properties with a total reserve of over €16m. There is a strong Dublin offering with over a third of the properties located in the capital. Multi-unit investment properties feature prominently, as well as a large selection of houses and apartments located nationwide.
Ellen Prenderville, Online Auctions, commented: “We are delighted to announce our largest online auction to date with over 220 properties amounting to over €33m on reserve. The range of properties included provides opportunities for owner occupiers and investors in locations throughout Ireland. 2016 has seen continuous expansion of our online auction platform and this auction sees the trend continuing.”
