Romans first property auction of 2015 is set to be an exciting one with 19 lots on offer in its new surroundings, as the sales room moves to the Green Park Conference Centre, Reading.

The auction, taking place on 25th February at 1.30pm features a great selection of residential and commercial properties from across Berkshire, Hampshire, Oxfordshire and Surrey.

"Our auctions always attract a fantastic array of properties, this particular one includes several terraced houses in central Reading; an investors’ dream, as well as some larger properties on good plots of land” comments Simon Clayton, Romans’ Auctions Director. “I’m expecting interest from both investors and owner occupiers; with house prices predicted to continue rising throughout the year, buying at auction is a fantastic way to quickly get on the property ladder.”

The first auction of the year offers a rare opportunity to acquire an individual, detached house in a rural setting in Bradfield, to the west of Reading. With a guide price of £550,000, this four bedroom home on Scratchface Lane offers accommodation over three floors and gardens and paddocks occupying two acres in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Subject to planning permission, this property offers the potential for repair, extension or replacement.

A former caretaker’s bungalow next to Colleton Primary School in Twyford is also being auctioned. With a guide price of £290,000 the property offers great potential for improvement and extension, with gardens surrounding the single storey building and its own gated driveway and detached garage.

Simon comments on the new venue: “Every year we are attracting more customers to our auctions, and now the Romans Group has expanded to take in the Henley-on-Thames, Burnham, Sunningdale and Farnham areas, the need for a larger auction location was obvious.

“Green Park Conference Centre in south-central Reading is a bigger modern venue and better for Romans’ customers, being located just off the M4 Junction 11, in what is seen by many, as the commercial centre of the Thames Valley.”
