Spring auction raises over £7.6m - but which properties sold?

Robert Hurst, chartered surveyor and auction manager said: “We are delighted with the results of our second auction of the year. There were 270 registered bidders and 1,660 watched the five and a half hour auction live on our website, showing how buyers and sellers enjoy interacting with us from the comfort of their own home.

"One of the highlights was the sale of 6 Pier Court off New Street in Cromer. Despite only being a second-floor flat, and requiring refurbishment, its great appeal was the superb panoramic 180-degree views out to sea and over Cromer Pier.

"This made it unique and with a guide of £200,000-£250,000, it generated significant interest with twelve separate bidders at the auction. Various telephone and internet bidders pushed the price up to a staggering £339,000 highlighting the value people are prepared to pay for a good view."

A mixture of lots including residential, commercial and land went under the hammer. Some of the other sales included:

• A detached bungalow needing full modernisation on Reepham Road in Hellesdon sold to an internet bidder for £195,000, well in excess of its guide price.
• ·A three-bedroom end townhouse requiring updating on Peterkin Road In Norwich sold to a telephone bidder for £178,500.
• On behalf of executors, a let maisonette producing £455 pcm (£5,640 pa) on Lilburne Avenue in Norwich sold for £86,000.
