Back to the auction in Galway on April 24, where a four bed semidetached family home in Spiddal, Co Galway, was sold in partnership with Spencer auctioneers. No 10 Bruach Na Mara saw great interest in the lead up to the auction and bids came forth briskly from several different parties in the room, as well as from pre-registered phone bidders. The hammer finally fell on €120,000 to a delighted bidder.
Again in partnership with Spencer auctioneers, a charming four bed detached bungalow was successfully sold.

The property in Lehinch, Killkerrin, Galway is in an ideal location and there were several parties hoping to secure the winning bid.
