AUCTIONEER Sutton Kersh said it’s on target to achieve its best year end result for over five years.

Its September auction took its total proceeds for the year to over £22m.

At the sale it offered 63 properties from an initial catalogue of 71. The best selling lot of the day was a vacant residential property located at 52 Galloway Street in Wavertree.

The mid-terraced two-bed house, which is in need of full refurbishment, sold for £24,250 – over double its guide price of £10,000.

Auction manager Cathy Holt said: “Historically September delivers a good auction result. The room was well attended and there was competitive bidding.”
