After topping the table for the biggest UK August property auction for two years running, SDL Property Auctions held the country’s biggest livestreamed auction of the month in September too. Featuring over 240 lots, the auction proved there is no sign of the market cooling down as the stamp duty holiday comes to an end.

The auctions market has also been given a boost by the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions, so potential buyers can once again book in-person property viewings on the SDL Property Auctions website. Managing Director and Auctioneer Andrew Parker said, “We are delighted to be able to offer in-person viewings once again and people can be assured that we take precautions to keep them safe.”

On offer were a range of lots, including cottages, flats, offices and even a houseboat.

The 60ft wide beam barge is in excellent condition throughout, with a handmade oak kitchen, oak storage units throughout, a high-end shower room and two bedrooms.

One of the smallest properties which packs a big punch when it comes to kerb appeal is a unique former chapel in the Cheshire village of Tarvin (above and right). Old Moss features a kitchen and sitting room with exposed brick fireplace on the ground floor, with a bedroom and bathroom upstairs, parking for one vehicle and an enclosed rear garden. The cottage went under the hammer in partnership with Humphreys at a guide price of £125,000+.

In a picturesque market town on the edge of the Lake District, a mixed-use property comprising office space and seven self-contained flats in a Grade II Listed building offered at a guide price of £395,000+.
