Romans’ first property auction of the year saw hundreds of buyers attend the Green Park Conference Centre in Reading to witness a catalogue of interesting and rare lots being sold.

“This was a terrific start to the year with 86% of the lots selling; a majority for significantly higher prices than their reserves” comments Simon Clayton, Romans’ Auctions Director.

Two of the most popular lots on the day were both in Reading; an attractive vacant Victorian terraced house on Wokingham Road sold for £61,000 above its guide price following a fierce bidding war, and another terraced property on

The site of a former police facility which now has planning permission for two new homes is expected to generate plenty of interest when it goes under the hammer.

The property in Ermine Street South, Papworth Everard, near Cambridge, has a guide price of £250,000, and will be auctioned at Cheffins Property Auction on Wednesday 2nd March.

If you are looking for a new project for 2016, then this Grade II-listed cottage in Stockport might be right up your street.

Formerly a large home and now three smaller cottages, the property is for sale by auction for just £75,000.

Located in the suburb of Woodley, just outside the centre of Stockport, this archetypal Gregorian home was built in the 17th Century and boasts a number of original features.

Being almost four hundred years old, it should come as no surprise that it has seen better days, and having been left unused and unloved since the millennium, the stairs are unsafe. This

In the latest remarkable deal from London's property market, a small garage in upmarket Chelsea has been sold for more than twice the price of an average UK home.

The garage, which has just 146 sq/ft of space, was put up for sale by Savills Auctions last week in London with a guide price of £180,000.

It has an electric 'up and over' metal door and a security bollard to stop someone breaking in and driving off in the car parked inside.

Due to the chronic shortage of parking in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, it ended up selling to an online bidder for £360,000 - almost twice the

There is the potential to extend (STP) offering an exciting opportunity for developers and investors alike. Situated in a popular location in the village of Furnace, the house benefits from easy access to Llanelli town

One of the UK's leading property auctioneers says the impending stamp duty hike due to come into force in April has been the major driver behind a record rise in lot entries this month.

Auction House, which has a branch in Chipping Sodbury, South Gloucestershire, says that 703 lots have been entered in its first round of auctions between 28 January and 26 February – a 13% rise compared to the same period last year.

Auctioneer Nick Cragg spoke of the boost in entries and said: "The Chancellor's introduction of an additional 3% stamp duty for investors and second-home owners has sent an

The first Acuitus auction of 2016 saw concerted investor buying of assets from all commercial property sectors as the sale raised £56.38m and 98% of the lots offered sold.

Of the 71 lots in the sale, 57 sold in the room and 12 prior at an overall average price of £817,000.

Acuitus auctioneer, Richard Auterac, commented: "We have been talking since last summer about the growing latent investor demand in the auction room and this was a tremendous illustration of that.

"We have been working painstakingly with sellers and their professional advisers to bring the right assets to the market at the

Well, the property I have for you today is to be found in a pretty and picturesque Dorset village. This gorgeous two bedroom Grade II Listed thatched cottage is packed with original features and appears very well maintained both inside and out.

At a glance this one is clearly ideal for owner occupiers, although those with a young family may wish to take into account that this one has limited outdoor space and not much by way of a 'garden' to speak of. There is a car parking area doubling as garden/gravel area, so it's not currently got that safe and soft lawn area for kids to run about and
