High clearance rate from commercial portfolio auction

Over two thirds of the offerings at Bayleys’ latest Total Property auction in Auckland have so far sold.

A total of 11 out of 16 mostly smaller commercial and industrial property offerings sold under the hammer or shortly after the auction. “This in a line with an overall clearance rate of around 70 per cent for commercial properties put up for auction in Auckland so far this year,” says Bayleys senior commercial auctioneer Richard Valintine.

Further south, Bayleys had another 100 per cent clearance at its Wellington Total Property auction, taking the number of properties sold by auction over the past 12 months in the Capital to 47 out of 48 offerings. All three properties up for sale in Tauranga also sold.

“This shows that auctions still provide a very effective method of sale in what is generally accepted to be a more challenging market than last year, particularly in Auckland,” says Valintine. “Less good quality investment properties being offered for auction has been a handbrake on the Auckland market this year.”

Two of the Auckland properties went up for auction with a declared reserve price after their owners accepted pre auction offers which then became the starting point for bidding. Bidding commenced at $2.2 million for a 340 sq m two-level building on a 1006 sq m site zoned Neighbourhood Centre at 14 Papakura-Clevedon Rd in Clevedon Village.

Other bidders then joined in the action and a series of mostly $5000 increases pushed the sale price up a further $120,000 before the hammer finally came down at $2.32 million. The property which has a liquor store and a dairy with upstairs residential accommodation as tenants was sold a 5.33% yield by Tony Chaudhary and Janak Darji of Bayleys South Auckland.

Also selling, at its declared reserve of $550,000 after the auction was brought forward, was a vacant 108m² warehouse unit plus three car parks in the Rosebank Rd industrial precinct at 3A Fremlin Place, Avondale. It was marketed by Mark Preston and Rick Kermode.
