Record numbers attended Romans’ first summer auction of the year, at the Green Park Conference Centre in Reading. The packed sales room and competitive bidding resulted in 92% of the lots selling at or above their guide prices.
“Competition between investors and owner occupiers was very much in evidence today, which drove prices up to some extremely good levels” comments Simon Clayton, Romans’ Auctions Director.

A patch of pavement in Islington, north London has sold at auction for a hefty £125,000, from a reserve price of just £4,000.

I really love this one, and not just because it's so unusual and different for a

First one I've got for you this time is a lovely 4 bed three storey town house. Really quirky exterior to this one, and it looks very well maintained overall, so will be ready to move right into for the owner occupier. It is pretty much a blank canvas throughout, so is ideal for someone looking to find a home they can really make their own... but it was those fabulous splashes of colour amidst the expanses of neutral white throughout that really drew my attention to this one.
While it's perhaps more subtly done having that small area of red wall in the

Happy Father's Day to all those wonderful dads out there - hope you've had a lovely day so far!
I've been having a look through some of the most recent catalogues and have a couple to share with you today.
The images for this initial one rendered me rather speechless at first glance, and that doesn’t happen often! This is a truly stunning character cottage in Warwickshire. Grade II listed and not seen on the market for decades, it’s clearly seen a lot of love and care over the years. With original features throughout, in particular those exposed wall and ceiling timbers, this cottage is
