Allsop is to hold its biggest commercial property auction yet early next month with 278 lots going under the hammer at a combined reserve value of €60 million.
The two-day auction, which takes place September 8th-9th, includes a strong collection of retail investments with well-known high-street names such as Dealz, Boylesports, Ladbrokes, O’Briens and Shoe Zone as sitting tenants.
One of the most sought-after properties at the auction is likely to be a combined lot that includes a large Georgian building at 10 Harcourt Street and two adjoining warehouses to the rear, on Montague Lane.
Cheffins Residential Sales team is delighted to have achieved one of the highest prices per square metre for a unit in Thoday Street in the Romsey Town area of the city of Cambridge.
Cheffins achieved £7,700 per square metre for the property with a final selling price of £217,500.
However, this is not the highest price achieved for a city property. Richard Freshwater, a Director at Cheffins' Cambridge Residential Sales office in Clifton Road comments:
"While this is a remarkable price, we regularly achieve between £9,000 and £10,000 per square metre for properties in the city. "The Cambridge
Before this year, CPBigwood's previous record auction took place in February 2014 raising just over £13 million. All three auction sales that have taken place so far in 2015 have broken this record – February, £13.4 million, April, £14 .75 million and now July, £14,839,050.
The result cements CPBigwood’s position as the largest auction house in the Midlands, and the major auction firm outside of London.

Auction House, the UK's number one residential auctioneer, together with the Bristol and Somerset North franchise held its 30th July auction at the impressive Bristol Pavilion at the Bristol County Ground.
The diversity of the lots on offer ensured a packed auction room that delivered an overall success rate of 94 per cent with only one lot going unsold.
With sale prices from £9,500-1,150,000 there was something for all budgets. Lots on offer included several mixed use tenanted properties, houses for refurbishment, investment properties and land.
Symonds & Sampson’s auction on 31 July provided buyers with a selection of properties throughout Dorset, Wiltshire, Hampshire and Somerset. With buyers coming from all parts of the south and a strong contingent from London this resulted in some fierce bidding for many of the lots.
Dorset lots included; an industrial site in Shaftesbury which sold for £56,000; an interesting development/investment project in the centre of Blandford selling for £210,000; and a flat in Barrack Street, Bridport, which had been on the market with other agents for over 3 years, selling for £115,000.
New property listings across the UK fell 13% in July, with Scottish cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh recording the biggest falls of 30% compared to the previous month, according to the latest Property Supply Index by online estate agents House Simple.
While activity in the property market is usually lower during the summer than the rest of the year, the stock of properties up for sale has been at low levels well before the summer.
A quarter of the towns and cities that saw the biggest falls in new property listings in July were in the south west of England, said HouseSimple, which looked at the
Record numbers of buyers crowded into Romans’ sales room at the Green Park Conference Centre in Reading on Wednesday 29th July, to witness a bumper catalogue of property and land being sold. The packed sales room and competitive bidding resulted in 100% of the lots selling at or above their guide prices, some for significantly higher prices than their reserves.
“This was the busiest July auction that I can remember” says Simon Clayton, Romans’ Auctions Director. “Normally at this time of the year many people are away on holiday, but there was standing room only at the start, which was a very

The team at UKAL, of course, never rest (!) and have taken this opportunity to update the UK Auction List auction calendar with all the latest dates for future auctions - right through to October! We’ll continue to add more as and when confirmed by the auction houses, so keep checking back.

If you've decided on the property that you want to bid on, and have everything in place in order to attend the auction, then the final piece of advice, in the run-up to the auction, is to keep an eye on the 'guide price' (this is the price listed in the catalogue).
Before the auction, contact the auction house just to make sure the property is still available. Also make sure you have made a decision on what your maximum bid will be. This will be based on your view of the property's value (having carried out viewings and local searches) rather than the guide price, and on the money you have
