Property auction lands a crowd for €14.5m sales

The debate about whether house prices are falling or rising might remain but one fact is certain — Irish people love a property auction.

Large crowds again turned out in Dublin’s Shelbourne Hotel yesterday for the latest Allsop Space auction of mostly distressed properties.

It was one of the largest turnouts in recent months for the now regular Allsop auctions, with people still queuing to gain entry almost an hour after the auction began at 10am.
