Symonds & Sampson’s first auction of 2025 was a near sellout, with bidders from all over the south of England competing to buy land and bricks and mortar.
Auction partner Meredith Wallis enjoyed watching the sale unfold. “We knew that there was a lot of interest from London, but we were surprised how many people came down the A303 and arrived by train. Visitors bid hard against potential buyers from within the region—some were successful, but local buyers were not to be outdone.
“Lots sold in Dorset, Devon, Hampshire, Somerset collectively raised over £2 million for our clients.” Amongst the most notable prices achieved were:
Land at Totton, Hampshire selling for £32,000 p/acre
Land at Langtree, West Devon is selling for between £7,500 p/acre and £20,000 p/acre
Commercial units in Penzance in Cornwall and Wincanton in Somerset sold for £50,000 and £63,000
A shop with four flats in Warminster, Wiltshire, sold for £150,000
Bungalows in Gillingham and Lytchett Matravers in Dorset sold for £195,000 and £325,000
A property for renovation near Wincanton in Somerset sold for £490,000
A 2-bedroom cottage in Puddletown sold for £203,000
