How taxman can help the homeless

Last week, I had the pleasure of attending the Institute of Professional Auctioneers and Valuers (IPAV) annual Presidents Charity Dinner in Dublin. 

At the reception, there was tangible positivity, as auctioneers swapped stories of the deals closed over the past 12 months.

A mix of urban, suburban and rural auctioneers all reported buoyancy across the spectrum of property, be it agricultural, residential or commercial. Even though many of us thought it extinct, gazumping is back with a bang, particularly for family size properties in sought-after areas of Dublin.
