Distressed properties net over €15m at auction

Ireland’s second auction of distressed property has taken place in Dublin – with many properties achieving above the rock-bottom asking prices.

Updated 21.00

THE SECOND AUCTION of distressed Irish properties took place in Dublin city centre today. Seventy-six properties out of 87 went under the hammer at the Allsop/Space auction – and many have achieved over the brochure’s reserve price.

While some prices were only a few thousand over the asking, many were tens of thousands over it – and a large six-bedroom house in Dublin’s ‘embassy belt’ went for €2.325m. The reserve on 35 Ailesbury Road was €1.45m.

Speaking to TheJournal.ie last month, Stephen McCarthy of Space Property said that he had been “quietly confident” that most of the premises on offer today would be sold.

Overall, the 76 sold properties scooped €15,760,500.
