Hunters held a successful property auction at York Sport Club in April. The sale was well attended and seven of the nine lots were sold in the room. Highlights of the evening included a garage which was guided at £15-£20,000 and sold for £43,000.

The former branch of Lloyds TSB Bank on Haxby Road was also offered for sale. The sale included the bank premises together with a two bedroom apartment above. There was plenty of competitive bidding, starting with a guide price of £160-£180,000, this property attained £304,000 in the auction room, which is a phenomenal result for the owner, who said, ‘’Hunters were exceptional from start to finish with this auction. Their advice was excellent and they kept us up to date on every step of the process. They were efficient and professional and I couldn’t recommend them enough.”

The last lot offered was a desirable semi-detached former lock keepers cottage. The house overlooks Naburn Lock and was much in demand by prospective buyers. The property and surrounding area have a history of flooding problems, however this did not deter bidders. The property, pictured above, offered with a guide price of £100-£120,000, sold at £168,000.
