Essential Auction News
|
Welcome to the September newsletter that looks back at property auction activity in August and preceding periods. Figures show a slight dip in the monthly activity when compared with August 2013, with lots offered and lots sold both down 5% and 11% respectively whilst total raised fell by over 14% to £56M. However, being a relatively quiet month in the auction calendar one should probably look to the rolling quarterly and yearly figures for a more accurate account of the market's strength, and these both remain largely positive.
As ever I would welcome any comments or feedback you may have regarding the newsletter or indeed the wider market in general. Kind regards David Sandeman Managing Director davids@eigroup.co.uk 01737 232 289 |
