It eventually sold for £1.55m having been guided at £800,000.

Lot 239A: West Hampstead Lance, West Hampstead – a freehold mid-terrace building arranged to provide six self-contained flats sold for £1,520,000
Allsop’s June residential auction was its largest auction since September 2021, highlighting growing confidence in the market among vendors and a continued demand for well-priced residential and mixed-use assets.
Richard Adamson, managing partner and residential auctioneer at Allsop, said: “We are delighted with another very strong result, the largest sale we have had for almost three years with a success rate well above the industry standard of 70%.
"This is a testament to the unrivalled experience of our team together with some very disciplined clients prepared to be led by the market. The easing of inflation and predication of interest rate cuts is starting to breathe confidence back into the market even with a pending general election.
"There is clearly strong demand for well-priced residential and mixed-use assets as investors chase income and value opportunities. We are already taking instruction for our July sale which we expect to be of high quality and with plenty of volume.”
