After two years of frenzy, a market slowly returning to normal levels of transactions is revealing much more about how the property world has changed, says Philip Farrell.

With phenomenal half-year results reported, Ireland-based online property sales platform Offr eyes global expansion with USA, South Africa, Italy and UAE all in its sights.

Only a few years ago, auctions were seen as a last resort to shift a difficult property or make a quick sale where needed. All that has changed, as Charlotte Flake discovered.

Offr says it's hired former Hamptons heavyweight Peter Everett to help build its business in the UK, which already has over 1,000 accounts signed up.

Proptech company Offr gains new backing as it breaks out of Ireland and into two new key markets but hopes to eventually become an international platform.
