Clearly happy with the result, Allsop said the auction was a "game changer".
“We believe that this auction is a game changer in the Irish property market and a clear indication of changes in consumer behaviour and their use of technology,” an Allsop statement read.
“We feel that the response by buyers to this transparent method of buying and selling demonstrates a restoration in trust in the property industry and how it does business.
“It also makes buying property an easy process, not limited to location or time. The entire property transaction process is performed digitally, 'from Catalogue to Contract'.”
Robert Hoban, director of auctions at Allsop Space said: “We are delighted with the result of this auction which we believes gives a clear indication of where the future lies for the property market.
“There was overwhelming engagement by buyers, with many contacting us directly to say how much they enjoyed the process. They found it to be less intimidating and stressful than other property purchases they’ve made in the past.”
