Find out which properties sold at Auction House East Anglia’s second sale of the year with Robert Hurst’s auction report.
Auction House East Anglia held its second auction of the year on Wednesday, April 15 as an online sale, selling 32 lots and raising over £5 million.
Amid challenging times, we are delighted with the results of our online auction. Due to coronavirus we had to change the arrangements to our spring auction from an in-room event to an online auction. Fortunately, advances in technology gave us the option to offer the lots via online auction.
One of the highlights was the sale of a four-bedroom detached chalet bungalow off School Road in Drayton. Having been in the same family since it was built 54 years ago, it generated significant interest. With a guide price of £200,000 it finally sold for £259,000. A small parcel of land extending to 0.12 acre opposite the property was offered as a separate lot. It also generated high levels of interest –with a guide at £15,000, it sold for £37,000.
A mixture of lots including residential, commercial and land went under the hammer and some of the sales include:
n A mid-terrace house requiring improvement on Bull Close Road in Norwich sold for £126,000.
