Clive Emson Auctioneers has unveiled 162 lots which will be auctioned in September.
There are 57 vacant residential, 52 investments, 24 commercial, 17 land and 12 development/conversions.
HMOs include a property in Bognor Regis, West Sussex, has a guide price of £1m-plus, producing nearly £127,000 per annum (lot 156).
The auction will take place on 21st September, while bidding will open 48 hours beforehand.
James Emson, managing director, said: “We have an appealing range of lots listed in the September catalogue, from former fire stations and HMOs to churches and riverside locations.
“With our auctions averaging a healthy 80% sales success rate, it is apparent that buyers are looking to bricks and mortar, and land, to help deliver decent returns to try and offset the pernicious effects of record-high inflation on cash savings.
“Our latest auction features 162 lots, the highest number to date for the year, and we anticipate keen bidding.”
Emson added: “Our July auction received traffic from more than 40 countries, with bids coming in day and night, and so, from a ‘reach’ perspective, online is hard to beat – including the convenience of bidding from home or the office.
“However, we are developing a hybrid system which, when the time is right, will combine both the ballroom and online auction worlds together so that everyone is catered for. An overwhelming 80% of clients expressed a preference for remote bidding to continue.”
The auction ends on Wednesday, 21st September; bidding opens 48 hours beforehand.
