Acuitus auctions have now raised more than £310m in 2016 which has put us on course for a second consecutive record-breaking year.

Acuitus auctioneer, Richard Auterac, commented: “The strong investment case made by commercial property was demonstrated once again at the October auction. Veterans of the saleroom were competing with investors who were making their first auction purchases”.

Although many buyers are being attracted by the investment yields on offer, there is also strong demand for development and active asset management opportunities. Grosvenor House in Norwich – a 50,628 sq f ft

The UK’s number one property auctioneer Auction House - which has a branch in North Wales – has had a successful September, selling 358 lots from 475 offered (a success rate of 75.4%), and raising over £43m.

“It was very good to see the London buyers returning to the sale room to bid but the tenacity and deep pockets of people from within our region kept prices strong for property within the locality.

“We were offering 41 acres of land at Salway Ash and Shipton Gorge near Bridport in lots and there was terrific interest with vigorous bidding pushing prices to £10,000 acre.

A garage in Marylebone, close to both Oxford Street and Regent Street in Central London, is set to go under the hammer early next week with a guide price of £135,000.

The 320sq ft garage is part of the ground-floor of an end-of-terrace building in Devonshire Street, W1. However, the lease, which currently stands at 61 years, will need to be extended.
