Innovative Galway Property firm Property Partners Maxwell Heaslip & Leonard will hold its first auctions of 2013 tomorrow, and this auction will be streamed live online at www.propertypartnersauctions.com Tomorrow’s auction will be the first in Galway to be streamed live online.
“Many of the buyers in the market at present are first time buyers and we realise that many of these are not au fait with the auction process, which is becoming a popular route to market for vendors,” said auctioneer and company director James Heaslip. “We aim to create more awareness of the auctions and how the process works, and letting people view them online is the ideal way of achieving this.”
Tomorrow’s auction sees a total of nine lots being brought to the floor.
Tonabrockey, Rahoon
Lots 1 to 5 are an executor sale encompassing an old two-storey farmhouse and lands in Tonabrockey in Rahoon. Comprising five separate lots including the aforementioned house on c4 acres (AMV €120,000 ), the remaining lots are made up of c11.89 acres of land (AMV €75,000 ), c14.6 acres of land (AMV €85,000 ), c0.3 acre with sheds (AMV €10,000 ), and c2.9 acres of land with approximately 124 acres of shared commonage (AMV €12,000 ). The house, on four acres, is in need of major renovation but already has a septic tank which is a huge positive for anyone seeking a house to renovate and extend.
The townland of Tonabrockey is a much sought after location close to the city, and the remaining lots will appeal to those already living in the area and those looking to move to this popular location. The varying lots will ensure a mix of buyers and this promises to be an engaging segment of the auction. According to auctioneer James Heaslip there has been a great deal of interest in these lots and interest on the day is expected to be keen. Mary O'Malley of Russell & O'Malley solicitors in Moycullen will handle the carriage of sale.
