BRISTOL AND THE WEST COUNTRY’S BIGGEST LIVE PROPERTY EVENT hollis morgan
“Somewhat uniquely, we sold a ‘Banksy‘” Our November Auction catalogue, although a smaller affair than our record-breaking October auction, was nevertheless imbued with some unique properties of character. For example, a mixed use investment property in Stokes Croft not only provided a retail unit and two four bedroomed HMO’s above, but also included a spectacular “Banksy” on the exterior wall. We wondered if someone might pay more for the wall than the remainder of the property but, finally, the lucky purchaser obtained a prime property at £835,000 and also provided a fabulous work of art to be enjoyed by the citizens of Bristol. A winner all around you might say! Included in the sale was a very rare opportunity indeed comprising an historic coach house and a range of garage/stables set in six acres of woodland adjoining the beautiful Nightingale valley. All of this would be charming and to some extent unique in a countryside environment but to find such a gem in the heart of Brislington within a short distance of the city centre can only be described as a truly outstanding Lot. The bidders seemed a little diffident to start with, as if stunned that such a great opportunity should be available for their competition. Inevitably, this passive atmosphere was short lived and in the end it came down to a battle between two parties fighting it out in bids of £2,000 until the gavel at last came to rest at a very pleasing £452,000. As usual, the ubiquitous garage lots always sell well although it is now only the most fastidious who put cars in them! As I was auctioning the Christmas tree lights were being switched on in Clifton Village, but it is far too early for us to celebrate as we have our last sale of the year on the 11th December looming up fast. However, there was just time for a large glass of Merlot to celebrate a sale of in excess of £5m before returning home! Andrew Morgan MBE . AUCTIONEER ANDREW REFLECTS ON OUR NOVEMBER AUCTION
