Allsop marks the start of 2026 by releasing its largest ever January residential auction catalogue

Allsop, a leading property consultancy and the UK’s largest property auction house, has released the catalogue for its January residential auction, featuring 435 residential and mixed-use lots from across the UK. One of the standout lots in the catalogue is a freehold development site in Romford, Essex (lot 25A), offered with full planning permission. Guided at £5.5m+, the former car park is approved for the construction of 88 apartments. Conveniently located, the site is just a 15-minute walk from Romford town centre, with its array of shops and amenities.

Richard Adamson, Managing Partner and Residential Auctioneer at Allsop, said: “We are delighted to release our first catalogue of 2026, which is a record-breaking one being the largest catalogue we have ever produced for a January sale. The end of 2025 was incredibly strong, with our December auction proving to be our largest sale of the year, producing over £70m in sales.

“The market has shown remarkable resilience despite ongoing uncertainty in the wider economy and global politics. Encouragingly, we are seeing signs of confidence returning, particularly among buyers, as interest rates eased in December and the long-awaited budget not causing significant disruption to the property sector. We anticipate a very busy run-up to the auction as our marketing campaign swings into action.”

Highlights from the auction include:

• Lot 14: 112 – 114 Clapham Road, Stockwell, London - two interconnecting freehold Grade II listed buildings providing 16 rooms (six with ensuite shower rooms), together with communal facilities. Total GIA approx. 416.8 sqm (4,487 sq ft) is guided at £2m+. 
• Lot 37: Leatherhead, Surrey - two freehold blocks containing a total of 10 self-contained flats, together with planning for an additional 5 flats above, guided at £2.3m+. 
• Lot 145: 3 Belsize Crescent, London – a freehold building internally arranged to provide three self-contained flats. Total GIA approx. 209.8 sqm (2,259 sq ft), has a guide price of £1.85m+.

Allsop’s next residential auction will be livestreamed and take place over two days 28th and 29th January, and the complete catalogue can be viewed online here.
