Auctioneer Simon Gooderham says: “These properties are among 21 lots being offered in one of our biggest auctions of the year which includes a number of cottages, plots of farmland and half a mile of fishing. We are finding that properties which are unusual or difficult to value are increasingly coming to auction and there has been a trend over the past two years for commercial investments to be offered in this way. This is mainly because once the hammer falls a sale is made and the uncertainty and delays often experienced with private treaty sales is avoided.”
