Investor and first time buyer properties set to dominate DNG November auction

Thu, Oct 23, 2014

Leading local agent DNG Maxwell Heaslip & Leonard is gearing up for its final auctions of 2014. The successful September auctions hosted by the company confirmed the interest by both first time buyers and investors in the market and the same trend looks set to continue for the November auctions.

With the confirmation in Budget 2015 that the tax breaks for investors who acquire an investment property and keep it for seven years will expire at year end, investors are keen to avail of this incentive while they still can. Commenting on this, James Heaslip of DNG Maxwell Heaslip & Leonard said: “Investors were very keen on property in our September auctions, anxious to avail of the tax incentives relating to CGT, we have a number of properties in our November auctions which we also expect to appeal to investors.

Great results at Colleran’s auction

Thu, Oct 23, 2014

It was a real case of quality, not quantity, at Colleran auctioneers’ packed auction last week when five properties in the sought after areas of Shantalla, Claddagh, Newcastle, and Salthill were offered for sale.

First to be sold was No 3 Ashe Road, Shantalla, a fabulous three/four bedroom terraced house which had generated huge interest from the first day, resulting in open viewings being extended by half an hour to accommodate the crowds viewing this house. This interest transferred to the auction room with five separate bidders quickly declaring their interest. Described by Don Colleran as “one of the finest Shantalla homes to be placed on the market for sale”, bidding very quickly rose from €180,000 to €283,000 until two remaining bidders pursued this wonderful home in increments of €1,000 until a delighted young family secured the property with a final bid of €290,000 to a round of applause from the packed auction room.
