Allsop to offer €27m worth of property in first auction of year
SOME 190 properties with a combined reserve value of more than €27m will be put up for sale on February 23 in Allsop’s first online auction of 2017.
The auction is set to open with a large selection of both tenanted and vacant residential properties, with the sale of more than 60 commercial assets to follow.
Commenting on the launch this week of the auction catalogue, Allsop’s head of commercial auctions Richard O’Neill said: “This marks the start of what we expect to be a very busy year. The residential offering provides substantial investment opportunities but also a wide range of vacant properties across the country which will be of interest to potential owner-occupiers.
“On the commercial side, we have some particularly strong income streams on offer, including properties let to Paddy Power and AIB.”
Commercial investors will have 64 lots to choose from, totalling more than €12m on reserve.
Among the notable properties on offer on the day will be Park House in Terenure, Dublin, a Victorian-style mixeduse investment comprising a creche and four apartments with residential conversion potential.
