‘Tremendous’ auction attracts bidders from overseas

Properties throughout Ireland – from Galway to Donegal, down to Kerry and even out to the island of Inisbofin along with a number in Dublin – went under the hammer, attracting local, national and international interest.

Among the local properties that sold were:

33 River Crest, Tuam. A two-bed semi situated on the outskirts of the town, just off the Dublin Road, in need of modernisation. Three bidders went head-to-head and it sold for €90,000, which was €20,000 over the Advised Minimum Value.

Former Garda Station and residence, Kiltullagh, Athenry. This detached bungalow residence is situated on a substantial site with adjoining self-contained office. The property is presented in good condition but could benefit from some upgrade works. After intense bidding, it sold for €240,000 – well over the reserve of €175,000.
