Could anyone point me in the direction of property auctioneers in the republic, I have googled and it seems all estate agents are auctioneers!!! Am looking for an actual action with lots of properties under the hammer. Thanks

Hi PCD.

As you probably know, the property market here has been pretty buoyant for quite a few years. That means that almost every run-of-the-mill property has been going to auction, particularly in Dublin and surrounds.

Maybe that's why "all estate agents are auctioneers". All the big houses (Sherry Fitzgeralds, Lisneys, Douglas Newman Good, etc., etc.)will auction off quite a few properties every Wednesday or Thursday.

Are you looking for anything in particular?

Auctioning of property has always been a popular way of selling in Ireland. Nearly all the major estate agents run auctions.


Maybe a Google is the answer.

I think what you're looking for is rare here. Your best bet is phoning the major estate agents as listed above as they'd probably know best as to when their next auction is. The Irish Independent on a Friday and the Irish Times on a Thursday have property pullouts that might have some info in them (I don't seem to have one here so can't check for you), not sure if the on-line version has thesame contents.


Edit: I got the days wrong . Thanks Brady .

Jeez that sounds like a bargain , PCD... Prices have gone crazy over here in the last while , the national stats seem to show no correlation to whats happening on the ground.
Houses in well sought after areas of Dublin have increased by up to 30% in the last year, and land with development potential is commanding unbelievable rates , just about anywhere in Ireland.

Are you looking for a summer home , or somewhere to develop to sell on??

Hi

Intention is to move accross permanantly within 5 years but probably spend 6 months of the year there initially, Dublin out of the question, houses look to be more expensive than London there.......my wife is into equestrian stuff so need something big enough to have stables and paddock, not too fussy where really as long as its peaceful with a pub nearby!!

There's plenty of horsey places available at any one time in the weekly property sections , as outlined by Brady... Dublin IS gone mad ... Most of us basically shouldn't be able to live in the houses we're in , they've increased so much , if you get me... But it's only paper money anyway , and I was living in the UK in the early nineties , and saw what happened there .....

My personal opinion is that you should look close (within 40 miles) of Dublin , there are good priced lots (farmhouses with loose boxes) to be had still , and as Dublin expands , these will increase hugely in prices .. presuming it doesn't all come tumbling down !!

its a serious mountain to climb for those that dont have a house already, south east is lovely, my girlfriend lives in tramore, the weather is so much better down there, prices are increasing much faster in dublin than anywhere else in percentage terms, talk of bubbles etc is just talk i think (& hope)! dont forget stamp duty and all the other costs! this has all the info u need i think, http://www3.myhome.ie/advice_news/art

good luck with the move, this is nice but pricey, owned by a jockey who is movin to the states, http://www3.myhome.ie/search/property

everywhere is expensive!

I'll keep an eye out. Passat is gone as I've just changed job. Picking this up tomorrow more than likely . Transport for two years is all I need out of it . Plus, Le Mans in relative comfort next year .
