Whilst this was one of our smaller sales with 5 lots unfortunately withdrawn prior to the sale and another sold prior there was still a good atmosphere in the room as the remaining lots had all generated a good deal of interest. The night was also made more interesting by having a few fun bidders who really got into the bidding process and relaxed the whole room.

Stand out sales include the parcel of paddock land on the edge of Sutton Benger which sold for £22,727 per acre and the terrace of cottages in Box which sold for a combined £652,500 - 24% above the Guide Prices! For a full set of results please click below.

Strakers next auction will be held in The Assembly Rooms, Bath on the 29th October. The catalogue has a good selection of interesting Lots on behalf of Housing Associations, Corporate Clients, Executors and Private Clients and already includes a Building Plot in a popular village near Marlborough, Pony Paddocks near Chippenham and an end terrace Georgian house in Bath.

The closing date for entry is 25th September and if you would like any advice on buying or selling by auction please contact us on 01249 765200.
