Lots to go for at property auctions

AUCTIONS step back into the sales fray in early 2015, with Allsops set to auction more than 220 lots later this month, while Iam-Sold is now stepping up to at least 14 auction events this coming year, moving now to Dublin after establishing in Galway and Cork/Munster in 2013/14.

It will be the most auctions held by any company nationally this year, says Iam-Sold director Patrick Convey, as they ran eight successful Galway and Cork auctions last year, with an 87% sales record.

Iam-Sold partners with 100 Irish auctioneer firms, using a mix of on-line auctions and formal public auctions. Its next event is in Galway on Feb 26, followed by Cork on March 12 with 25 lots expected, and strong Cork/Limerick demand reported, while Dublin kicks off on May 21.
