Just the one property today that I'm going to talk about.... quite a lot! It's for auction this Thursday, and may at first glance appear to be primarily for the builders and developers out there, but has such varied potential that there may be a few others as intrigued as I am by the possibilities that come with a project property/development opportunity such as this one. It really is a very unique, rare, and unusual opportunity in this very pretty Welsh setting. So, set your imagination loose and lets take a closer look...
I have to say that on first glancing at the exterior images of this
Having got through the incredibly busy July (with 100% sales success rate for UKAL, I might add!), there is a slight breather whilst the majority of the auctioneers take a well deserved break.
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.
We will also be updating our database on a daily basis with all the unsold lots from the auctions, so check out
First one for you today is rather unique... a Grade II Listed former chapel in Llanelli that is now being used as a house, and wow that stone exterior is very smart! The windows are gorgeous in both shape and design, and the stained glass window shown in one of the images has a very pretty flower design :-)
Now, the images aren't very high resolution and you do need to use a little imagination with regards the finer details, but even so, that interior is very striking and has an incredible open plan layout! I love the way the main area has been used, and given how dark and striking the inner
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
People buy at auction for lots of reasons. They may want to move quickly or they could be looking for a plot of land to build on, a repossession, or quite simply they want a quick purchase without the risk of gazumping. Also, many buyers looking for investments buy at auction as a catalogue full of properties gives them lots of opportunities to choose from.
Buying a property at auction is both exciting and potentially profitable. It avoids all of the lengthy purchasing procedures that you usually have to endure and the risk of everything falling through at the 11th hour. At an auction, as soon
The 43,468 sq ft United House in York which has permitted development rights for residential conversion sold for £6.02m.
Of the five lots which sold for more than £2m, four were office properties and the sector accounted for more than half of the money invested at the sale.
Acuitus auctioneer, Richard Auterac, commented: “There is now serious interest in the regional office sector and it is the subject of concerted buying. “This is being fuelled partly by the scope for residential development, but experienced investors are also seeing that they can buy income-producing properties at good entry
Well, my first one for you today has a little bit of mystery going on... but I'll get to that in a minute! This one's Grade II Listed, located in wonderful Wiltshire, and while from the outside it looks compact, it's got more in there than you realise. Not only is there 2 bedrooms on the first floor, there are also 2 attic rooms and 2 cellar rooms to take into account. Including the ground floor that means we have rooms across 4 floors!! Definitely more space than I had expected at first glance... and that's before I found out this place has a little secret!
Just a quick note to remind you that although many of the property auctioneers catch their breath in August, there are a few auctions taking place, and all those catalogues will be on-line as soon as they're released.
The September catalogues will start to be released from mid August onwards - if you're a member, you can check out the UK Auction List auction calendar which has been updated with all the latest future auction dates.
And in the meantime, check out all the unsold lots from the auctions to see if there's still a bargain to be had!
