More than £18 million was raised for sellers in the sixth auction of eight this year by Clive Emson Auctioneers.

There were 180 lots listed across southern England and South Wales in the September auction by the regional land and property auctioneers.

James Emson, Managing Director, said: “Diverse lots bought included two houses on an acre of Kent countryside, for just under £1m, to £10 for a strip of roadway in Wokingham, Berkshire. Many buy-to-let and owner-occupier homes were also sold during the auction.”

In the same family ownership since the 1960s, two adjacent houses at Sellindge, near Ashford in Kent, sold after intense bidding for £956,000 (lot 142 pictured).
