BidX1 have announced details of their first auction under the new brand, which will take place across two days, 27th and 28th September. Over 300 lots are going under the hammer, totalling more than €60m on reserve.
Jonathan Fenn, Director at BidX1, commented: “We’re kicking-off our two-day auction with the residential catalogue which includes a selection of stunning family homes in prime locations. A beautiful four bedroom Victorian house on Palmerston Road in Dublin 6 and Glashnacree House in Co. Kerry – an incredible coastal country house complete with 40 ft swimming pool, stables, tennis courts and two guest houses – are among the highlights.
“Investors will have an impressive selection of residential portfolios and commercial investments with high income streams to consider; a ground floor restaurant and offices at The Green in Malahide and a portfolio of 15 apartments on Gardiner Street generating €139,600 per annum are among the highlights.
“In total, there are 15 multi-family residential lots going under the hammer which will bring over 100 individual units to the market. With more than half of these units currently vacant, it’s a significant injection of stock into the supply-starved housing market."
