Emson November sales rocket

The Negotiator

Brunel Caping Carriages holiday park imageClive Emson sold land and property worth more than £18.5 million at its latest sale.

The company catalogued 161 lots and achieved a sale rate of 81 per cent during the October/ November auction.

Managing Director James Emson said, “Land with planning permission was a popular choice with builders looking to stock up, perhaps getting ready for 2017 and the spring markets.

“Grazing land attracted good interest and several lots offered potential for the future which are seen by many as a calculated punt.

“Commercial lots, whether vacant or let also sold well. The catalogue offered, once again a good selection of garages and ground rents again to competitive bidding.”

James added, “As we approach our final sale of the year we can reflect on excellent results for the company.

“Despite long periods of national uncertainty and upheaval it has remained the case throughout 2016 that property is an excellent investment. Buyto- let investors seem undeterred by mortgage relief changes and extra stamp duty.

“Our new online auction has bedded in well and we look forward to growing this aspect of the business to ensure customers continue to benefit from this new resource.”

A fierce bidding war broke out as the iconic railway themed Brunel Camping Carriages holiday park at Dawlish Warren in East Devon steamed through its guide price to sell for £261,000. The site, featuring chalets in converted rail carriages, was bought by a local businessman. It closed at the end of the summer after 50 years.
