Back to the auction in Galway on April 24, where a four bed semidetached family home in Spiddal, Co Galway, was sold in partnership with Spencer auctioneers. No 10 Bruach Na Mara saw great interest in the lead up to the auction and bids came forth briskly from several different parties in the room, as well as from pre-registered phone bidders. The hammer finally fell on €120,000 to a delighted bidder.

Again in partnership with Spencer auctioneers, a charming four bed detached bungalow was successfully sold. Rosmuck, Derryrush, had a number of pre-auction bids and the owner accepted an offer of €130,000 prior to the live auction event. Also in Galway, in partnership with Tyrrell auctioneers, Tuam, a charming three bed property was offered to the floor. The property in Lehinch, Killkerrin, Galway is in an ideal location and there were several parties hoping to secure the winning bid. After some strong bidding in the room, the property sold for €136,000.

Thirteen acres of high quality agricultural land in Claremorris, Co Mayo, was brought to the market in partnership with Gerard Hanley auctioneers, Claremorris. The land attracted strong local interest in the lead up to the auction and was successfully sold for €65,000.

Elsewhere in Mayo, in partnership with Gerry Rowland auctioneer, Ballina, the auction team successfully sold a two bed cottage with 11 acres of land in Foxford. This property at Largan, Ross, had good local interest and was sold for €70,000. Meanwhile in Leitrim a four bed bungalow offered for sale in partnership with Gordon Hughes estate agents, Ballinamore, No 2 Hartley Court, received a number of bids and the successful bidder secured the property at €100,000.
