75% of properties listed were sold and by the time the auctioneer was up to Lot 5, Sutton Kersh had already generated over £1 million worth of sales. The auction kept going from strength to strength thanks to the high calibre of properties offered, enthusiastic bidders and charismatic auctioneer!

Andrew Binstock, their resident auctioneer, hosted the auction which had 300 bidders register and was watched online by hundreds throughout the country.

Lot 1 was the well known Princes Building on Dale Street in the heart of Liverpool’s business district. It was recently refurbished to provide 35 residential apartments, ground floor retail units and basement accommodation. Prior to this, the building was used by musicians, such as The Zutons, for rehearsals. It sold for an astounding £916,000, which was £166,000 over the guide price.

Sutton Kersh Auctions Director Cathy Holt said ‘Myself and the team are delighted with the success of our first live streamed auction, given the unprecedented times we have recently been facing. We are all still working remotely and it just shows the strength and expertise within our team. So far this year we have sold a total of 207 properties, with a sales value of £19.6 million, and we aren’t even half way through the year yet!’

A few highlights from the auction include 3 properties located on Gentwood Road in L36, which all sold for at least £20,000 over their guide price.
