Allsop has raised £67.5m from the sale of 364 lots at its largest residential auction in terms of the number of lots sold since February 2009.
The sales achieved represent a 91% success rate.
The highest value lot sold consisted of two freehold interlinked office buildings in Gloucester with redevelopment potential, selling at £1.9m.
Other highlights included a freehold detached building comprising 29 letting rooms in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, which sold for £900,000 having been guided at £400,000.
Allsop said the success of the July residential auction underscored growing seller and investor confidence in the residential market.
Richard Adamson, managing partner and residential auctioneer at Allsop, said: “This is an incredible achievement in what remains a challenging market. Recent months have shown encouraging signs of recovery, with more bidders returning to the market. The July sale was no exception, as we saw more competitive bidding than at any time in the past eight months and we anticipate this positive trend to continue in our August residential auction.”
In response to the demand, Allsop will be holding an additional residential auction on 29 August.
