40 per cent of these were sold by Graham Penny Auctions.
During that period Graham Penny Auctions also achieved a sale success rate of 7.7 per cent above the national average and 10.8 per cent above the East Midlands average.
The figures have been announced as Graham Penny Auctions, the Midlands number one property auctioneer, prepares for a bumper month of auctions in September with its biggest Nottingham property catalogue to date and its biggest Derby property catalogue so far this year.
The Derby auction on Thursday 5th September at Pride Park Stadium features 83 property and land lots from across Derbyshire and further afield including a number of investment homes, a former private members club, a chip shop and a hotel.
In Nottingham the auction on Thursday 12th September will be the biggest in the city to date with 67 lots on offer including city centre terraces and apartments, seaside retreats, urban family homes and even a former Little Chef restaurant.
Graham Penny, auctioneer and director at Graham Penny Auctions, commented:
“We have heard many people say over the past few months that the market is picking up but with figures like these we can now really trust that it is.
“Our property catalogues are getting bigger auction on auction and our sale percentage is rising too. With September gaining on us, people are starting to think about selling properties again and the prices we are achieving for our vendors is reason enough to choose selling a property by auction.”
