Following strong interest from two steadfast bidders the 88th bid achieved a sale price of 33% over guide.
This three bed property situated in a popular part of Redhill, Surrey with planning permission granted for a two storey extension, generated a very strong response when it was listed for auction. Power Bespoke Network Auctions listed the property and conducted multiple block viewings. 22 interested parties signed up to the website to watch the auction and 9 registered to bid.
From the 8 individuals making bids, in total there were 88 bids driving the price from a guide of £350,000+ to a sale price of £465,000. In the end it came down to a contest between 2 determined bidders.
We learned afterwards that the under bidder was bidding from his yacht in the English Channel, proving that whilst he was offshore he was not offline!
Network E utilises the online auction platform supplied by Essential Information Group. This new method of sale is a hybrid combining the best elements of private treaty and traditional auction.
