"Though last year showed some slow but improving sentiment and market conditions, many were pleased to welcome 2025 in the hope that it would bring more favourable conditions for the real estate sector"

Property consultancy, Allsop has released the catalogue for its January residential auction, showcasing 193 lots across the UK.
The catalogue features a mix of residential and mixed-use investment and development opportunities around the UK, including houses and flats, vacant sites and garages. The highest-value lot to be presented at the January auction is a freehold detached building in Ealing, comprising four two-bedroom flats and one three-bedroom flat, with a guide price of over £2.6 million.
Other auction highlights include Lot 69: Roehampton, London – a freehold detached building and garage with planning for six self-contained flats and two cottages, guided at £1.9m+, Lot 18: Gloucester – a freehold city-centre building with possible redevelopment/conversion potential, extending to approximately 67,350 sq. ft, guided at £1.3m+, and Lot 15: Surrey – a freehold gated development comprised of two houses, with both properties providing two-bedroom accommodation, subject to assured shorthold tenancies, and total current rent reserved at £80,400 per annum, guided at £1.1m+
Allsop’s auction arm concluded 2024 with over £1bn raised from both residential and commercial auctions, despite political and economic turbulence and slower-than-anticipated interest rate cuts.
“We are pleased to release our first catalogue of 2025, which features over 190 lots across the country, a 30% increase compared to last year," said Richard Adamson, managing partner and residential auctioneer at Allsop.
He added, "Though last year showed some slow but improving sentiment and market conditions, many were pleased to welcome 2025 in the hope that it would bring more favourable conditions for the real estate sector. Nevertheless, in 2024 we saw plenty of buyers willing to invest, and with interest rates predicted to come down and Stamp Duty reform imminent, we are anticipating a busy 2025 ahead.”
