Auction House Birmingham were delighted to sell Auction House's 2,500 property in their December auction. In a packed room, of over 300 people, the lot was a two bedroom dilapidated bungalow, fierce bidding in the room saw it sail past the guide of £120,000 to be sold at £180,000. They ended the year selling 16 out of 18 and kept their year sales at a massive 93% conversion.

In addition, we're pleased to report that Auction House Cumbria held its largest ever auction with a record 71 lots offered in the final sale of 2013, with more than 700 people attending. Over £3m (£3,060,100) was raised in the dual centre auction, where an average eight out of every 10 properties sold.
