Savills August Auction Raises Over £30m with 81% Sale Rate

Savills raised more than £30 million from its latest property auction, achieving an 81% sale rate from 130 lots offered. The August auction featured a mix of residential and commercial properties.

Among the residential highlights, a two-bedroom flat in Pimlico sold for £725,000, which was £250,000 above its guide price. The property, located on the ground and lower-ground floors and requiring renovation, attracted bidders interested in development potential. Other notable residential sales included a two-bedroom terraced house in Bethnal Green, which sold for £617,000, and a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Mill Hill, which achieved £635,000. A three-bedroom flat in Battersea sold for £550,000, drawing interest from both owner-occupiers and investors.

On the commercial side, a 97.8-acre former golf club in Edenbridge sold prior to the auction, close to its £775,000 guide price. A mixed-use freehold investment in Alton, Hampshire, also sold prior to the auction, near its £850,000 guide. Additionally, a freehold car park in Aldershot with space for eight vehicles achieved £13,000, significantly above its £1,000 guide price.

The auction results indicate continued activity from both owner-occupiers and investors, with properties offering value or development potential attracting strong interest.
