Harman Healy’s £2.4m March sale result was three times the total of its January sale.
At the firm’s second auction of the year it sold 24 of 36 lots offered, a 67% success rate.
In January, Harman Healy sold just eight of the 14 lots on offer, a 58% success rate, and raised £772,000 – the firm’s weakest result in years.
Its March success was powered by demand for regional residential investments.
The top lot was a five-bedroom detached house in need of refurbishment in Southampton, Hampshire, which sold for £257,000. Elsewhere, a first-floor, two-bedroom leasehold flat in south Croydon, Surrey, sold for £246,000.
London investment opportunities struggled on the day. A freehold five-bedroom house in Stratford, E15, failed to sell despite attracting bids of up to £432,000, as did a leasehold flat in Streatham, SW16, which reached a bid of £340,000.
The auction took place at Chelsea Old Town Hall, SW3, on 10 March.
