We just can’t stop talking about property!

2011 was a phenomenal year for Irish property auctions and 2012 is shaping up to be even better, with new entrants to the market and changes to the traditional auction process.

The first major multi-lot auction of the year will be held on 1st March at The Shelbourne Hotel by Allsop Space – catalogue available on our auctions blog.

Yesterday was a busy day, we started with Declan Meehan and the Morning Show team on East Coast FM to discuss the east coast properties, commercial and residential.

Yesterday evening, I joined the enigmatic John Purcell in the KCLR96FM Kilkenny studios for his business show, The Bottom Line. Here we discussed properties under the hammer in the Carlow/Kilkenny areas.

In particular, we looked at opportunities for businesses to acquire new premises, either to lease or purchase, in the current market. We could not ignore the commercial site (0.5 acres) at Deerpark Business Park in Carlow, being offered with a maximum reserve price of €10,000! It appears that despite the decimation of the market, general interest in property remains and we just can’t stop talking about it!
