Farmer wins damages against auctioneers who overvalued land in 2007

A Co Wexford farmer has won damages in a High Court action against two auctioneers who overvalued land he wished to sell just before the property crash.

Partly as a result of the valuations, Frank Brownrigg of Crory, Ferns lost a €590,000 deposit on lands adjacent to his farm which he hoped to buy.
