Find out which properties sold to raise over £7m at online auction

“We are delighted with the results of our fifth auction of the year," said Robert Hurst, chartered surveyor and auction manager. "There were over 250 registered bidders and over a thousand people watched the five hour auction live on our website, with buyers and sellers connecting with us from all over the country and abroad.

"There were many highlights, one of which was the sale of Links House, 62 Links Road in Gorleston, which is a residential investment comprising a block of six self-contained flats let producing £34,380 per annum.

"It generated significant interest from investors looking for a high yielding investment. With a guide price of £450,000 to £500,000 there were a number of bidders at the auction.

"Various telephone, proxy and internet bidders pushed the final hammer price to £617,000 much to the delight of the owner. This gave a gross initial yield of 5.5% which is still a lot better than you would get in the bank.

"Quirky and unusual lots are also ideal at auction and we had a number of these, including a near-derelict bungalow set in three acres with its own Grade II listed bridge at Rackheath Park Gardens. Guided £400,000 to £450,000, spirited bidding took the final hammer price to £520,000 much to the delight of the executors and beneficiaries.

"Land lots continued to fare well with 3.6 acres of grazing / amenity land off Summer Lane in Carbrooke, guided at £30,000 to £40,000, making £102,000 (over £28,000 per acre).

"1.6 acres of grazing/amenity land off Dunburgh Road in Dunburgh near Beccles sold for a staggering £111,000 (nearly £70,000 per acre). This shows that selling by auction should always be considered when selling land with or without planning permission."
