With a notable change in the weather and back to school looming, the auction team at DNG Maxwell Heaslip & Leonard have slipped back into gear, and this week launched their September series of auctions for 2014.
Following a brief respite after their successful July auctions, the team have been busy finalising the details for the auction which will take place on September 26 in the Radisson Blu Hotel, Lough Atalia.
“We have seen a steady increase in sales throughout the year and a very definite appetite to buy, both in the owner occupier and investor markets,” said James Heaslip MIPAV. The September auction reflects this appetite to buy and sees the company bring to market a total of 11 lots, some of which will appeal to owner occupiers, while astute investors will undoubtedly be interested in many of the lots.
“In this auction we see an emphasis on properties which will appeal to investors due to the demand for such properties, given the tax incentives which apply to property purchased before the year end,” Mr Heaslip added. “Investors who complete the purchase of a property prior to the year end and who keep the property for a minimum of seven years will be able to enjoy an exemption from capital gains tax on any profits earned on the property. As a result of this tax incentive, keen interest is expected by investors in this upcoming auction.”
