Auction House East Anglia held its third auction of the year on Wednesday, May 5, selling 44 out of 54 lots to create an 81% success rate and raising over £8 million.

Robert Hurst, chartered surveyor and auction manager, said: “We are delighted with the results of our third auction of the year. There were 256 registered bidders and thousands watched the five hour auction live on our website, with buyers and sellers connecting with us from all over the country and abroad.

"One of the highlights was the sale of 32 Park Lane in Norwich. On behalf of executors we were instructed to sell a four-bedroom detached house which was in need of updating and improvement.

"Located just off Unthank Road in the heart of the Golden Triangle, it generated significant interest having come to the market for the first time since 1977. With a guide price of £550,000, various telephone and internet bidders pushed the final hammer price to £617,000, much to the delight of the family."
