Allsops could trade €60m

A Limerick asset management opportunity guiding €2.1/2.3 million, as well as 11 Waterford apartments for €560/600,000, are among the stronger Munster commercial offers in next month’s combined Allsop auction.

The two days of auction activity may see over €60m transacted under the hammer, making it the company’s largest auction yet — and considerable attention will be on the performance of Dublin’s residential lots, including a number of quality family homes.

Residential auctions - which for years had characterised the Dublin market - died a death in the housing and banking slump, so with the Dublin market back in recovery (albeit with price inflation lessening in recent months relative to other Irish cities) there’ll be interest to see the level of bids on the more upmarket homes.
