On Friday December 16 O’Donnellan & Joyce expects the Victoria Hotel to be bursting at the seams when it auctions 16 fantastic properties. Locations are varied and each property is priced to sell. As is common practice now, in most cases the reserve prices will not exceed the advised minimum value price and in some cases it could even be lower. Locations include Claregalway, Carnmore, Menlo, Woodquay, Glasán (GMIT), Bushypark, Rahoon, the city centre, Salthill, The Claddagh, and Kingston. This is being billed as a ‘spoiled for choice’ auction and there is such a variety of properties in a variety of locations that there is something for everyone.
