Allsop’s fourth residential auction of the year raised £43m on 166 lots, with a success rate of 90%. On the day of the auction, there were 3,748 bids and 1,000 bidder registrations.
Richard Adamson, partner and auctioneer at Allsop, said: “Our June auction saw a flurry of activity, and we’re pleased to see that buyer demand has remained strong despite the looming end of the Stamp Duty holiday. The successful rollout of the vaccination programme coupled with the gradual lifting of the Covid restrictions across the country has helped sustain and amplify confidence in the residential property market, and we expect this trend to continue well into H2 2021. We anticipate another busy auction in August and look forward to bringing more opportunities to the market as the UK returns to normality”.

- Lot 40 – a freehold semi-detached period building in Wandsworth Common, London, comprised of two self-
