Following its unrivalled auction success during 2010 when 80 per cent of all properties that went into the auction room sold, it is full steam ahead with the auction process for O’Donnellan & Joyce. The company is known countrywide to have one of the most successful track records when it comes to selling properties by public auction, and its first auction of the season already has a very interesting line up. In this time of uncertainty there are more and more people of the opinion that when it comes to selling property auction is the way forward, and O’Donnellan & Joyce has proved that it is the leading company for auctions.
The first auction of 2011 will be held in the Victoria Hotel on Friday February 25 at 3pm. So far on the list for auction on that day are No 1 Blake’s Lane, Bohermore; No 67 Moyola Park, Newcastle; No 2 Reddington Road, Shantalla; No 11 The Green, College Road; and a property in Ardrahan. All these properties come onto the market with very reasonable price tags which means that on the auction day the reserves will be equally attractive. There is great value to be had now. Open viewings for all properties going into the February auction will commence on Saturday January 22 and continue every Thursday and Saturday up to the auction date.
No 1 Blakes Lane, Bohermore (executor sale )
A real doer upper in Galway city centre at a very realistic reserve of €60,000.
This unique house is a small compact terraced cottage and provides a real taste of ‘old Galway ’in that it is located in the award winning cul de sac at Blake’s Lane in the heart of Bohermore and within 400 yards of Eyre Square. It is in need of total refurbishment and comprises 363sq ft of accommodation with a total site coverage of 583sq ft.
“The house itself would be ideal for a DIY enthusiast or a small builder looking to acquire a city centre property which would be either a permanent residence or an excellent investment property with all year round letting potential,” said Tony Joyce.
The most attractive feature of this executor sale is obviously the AMV of €60,000. Open viewing will commence this Saturday and continue every Thursday and Saturday from 11am to 12 noon.
Solicitor with carriage of sale is Susan Egan, Emerson & Conway solicitors, No 1 St Francis Street, Galway.
No 2 Reddington Road, Shantalla.
