For one of the UK’s leading auctioneers, Clive Emson, a very healthy £16.3 million and an overall success rate of 82% sold was achieved from the first auctions of the year.

Demand for all sectors, whether vacant residential in need of improvement, vacant commercial, tenanted properties (residential or commercial), garages, land (all shapes and sizes) simply outstripped supply. The results of their first auctions of the year can be summed up as - a flying start!

And for 2015, Clive Emson has announced the launch of a new sale for the Essex and North and East London Markets.    The 25-year-old family-run business has extended its reach to five auction days across the south from Cornwall to Essex. Experienced duo auctioneer Paul Bridgeman and senior auction valuer Martin Hardy will be joined in their new Chelmsford office by administrator and production assistant Melissa Kennedy. Areas covered by the new auction will include Romford, Stratford, Tottenham, Walthamstow and the City.
