Hope you all had a fab weekend and enjoying this sunny monday morning!

So, whilst lazing in the garden this weekend, I've been perusing our database and have some awesome hot picks for you!

The first one I've got for you today is a piece of history in Hull. This former theatre was bombed and part destroyed during the Blitz in 1941! It's been in a ruined state ever since, and the building is Grade II listed, ensuring that the iconic facade remains when this one gets a new lease of life. Clearly one for redevelopment, at present it has not got planning granted yet, but there has been planning

Entered into the Belfast auction with BRG Gibson Auctions on June 16, the house in Eglinton belonging to former EuroMillions winner Ryan Magee is expected to fetch about £400,000.

It's described as every family's dream home with five bedrooms, three reception rooms, a swimming pool, a hot tub and even a Champagne bar.

From the electric gates to the automatic pool cleaner, this is a practical luxury family home with a friendly ambience and cosy feel about it. For anybody looking to purchase a luxury family home, this property definitely has to be worth a view.  

Barnard Marcus' most recent auction last month saw sales proceeds in excess of £26m from the 175 lots on offer. The total for Barnard Marcus this year already stands at over £95m and for Sequence Auctions overall including their regional rooms in Leeds, Norwich, Derby and Southampton exceeding £120 million.

Many lots under the hammer soared above the guide prices, for example, Lot 37, a freehold detached bungalow with potential, offered on behalf of The London Borough of Sutton with a guide price of £330,000, subsequently sold to a private buyer for £710,000, following a fierce bidding war.

It's a busy week for auctions and we've been perusing those lots going under the hammer this month.  Following on from Monday, we've a few more of our favourite properties to share.

Firstly, check out these three fabby 2 bed apartments in award winning contemporary development in Cornwall. Each comes with not just a parking space in the secure basement car park, but also there is a surfboard locker with each apartment... am guessing there’s some decent waves to be had at the local beaches in the area... so this one’s perfect for investment, or owner

This week there are quite a few property auctions taking place.  Something to suit everyone I'm sure! Some of my favourite auction lots under the hammer this week include....

Firstly I've a gorgeous little 1800s Victorian character cottage for you. Well, I say little, but to be honest it's sweet compact exterior appearance in the main image is instantly countered from within when you see the high ceilings and generously sized rooms in the additional pictures of the interior. That kitchen is both large and rather striking with it's attractive tiled flooring, the wood burning stove really adds

Selling a property by auction is easier than many people think, and the prices that we achieve are usually higher than expected too.

It all starts with an email enquiry or a phone call to us. We will pass on your details to the best performing auction house in your area, at which point you'll be asked about your property, your situation and your requirements.

First one for you today is a really nice 3 bed chalet bungalow set in lovely mature gardens, located in Hampshire. While there's some refurbishment required, this one is the perfect project property for a keen DIY-er, and the property certainly looks to need very little, if anything, done outside at all. The conservatory is a cracker! It's really big and looks out over across that really pretty and 90' long garden.

Taking into consideration the double garage, driveway, etc as well... this one's got lots of potential, and is really not needing very much done to it. Also, as you can see from
