According to Philip Farrell, Auction Manager, “We were delighted, in light of it being the first national auction of its kind, that there was such a large attendance today and such a huge level of interest in the lots beforehand. Since the auction ended at 1.30pm, contracts have been exchanged on a number of additional properties and we would anticipate a number of further sales will be achieved over the coming days. ”
