On 4th June I posted about the property above going for auction, so I went along yesterday to see how much interest there was and what it sold for. There were quite a few in the auction room, around 100 people i'd guess, going after 10 Lots. One was withdrawn prior due to a planning issue, and another didn't meet the reserve, but all others sold. The room nearly emptied after Lot 9 sold - a plot of land in Stanbridge, guided at £30k. This eventually sold for £131k!
The cottage in Houghton Conquest was the last lot of the day, and hardly anyone was left in the room. Bidding started around the guide of £120k and slowly increased in £1k bids between two people, then £500 bids to reach £131,500 - then a new bidder behind me came straight in at £135,000 and got it! Good work.
Considering another two bed house in the same village is showing as sold on Rightmove for £174,995, this seems like a very nice little investment!
