Good day for Dreweatt Neate
Swindon-based auction house Dreweatt Neate enjoyed a 90% success rate at its second sale of property and land in the local area, making in excess of £1.5m from the auction. Partner David Stubbs was “delighted” with the outcome. Commercial property in Swindon sold particularly well. A retail investment in Bridge Street, for example, was sold, prior to auction, on a yield of 6.1%. Auctioneer Charles Lucas reported strong local interest in residential investments and development sites.
