Essential Auction News
Welcome to the July newsletter that looks back an auction activity in June and preceding periods. For the past 4 months the overall monthly amount raised has seen a double digit increase when compared with the same month last year. In June of this year, it fell back 28%, from £484M to £350M. The reason for this fall in revenue is principally because a major London commercial auction house held an auction in June last year raising £75M, but this year have held sales in both May and July but not June.
In the regions, the rolling quarter drops were not severe as it is measured over three months and not one month, with 6 of the regions seeing a rise in the value of properties sold including London, the South East, the Midlands and the South West.
As always, I welcome any comments you may have and do hope that you are coping with the extreme temperatures we are now all experiencing.
Please note the newsletter can also be viewed online. Kind regards David Sandeman
davids@eigroup.co.uk P.S. Here at the Essential Information Group we maintain a database of virtually every property coming up for sale at auction as well as almost 900,000 lots that have been to auction in the past. It is fully searchable and allows you to identify properties coming up for sale that you might be interested in, and to see what similar properties have sold for in the past.
