• Allsop raised over £65 million at its January auction, doubling the amount generated in January 2025 
• 330 lots sold, achieving a 91% success rate 
• Allsop's February catalogue, featuring over 280 lots, will be released on Friday 6th February

Allsop has successfully concluded its largest ever January residential auction, raising over £65 million with 330 lots sold and a 91% success rate.

The highest-value asset to sell under the hammer at the January auction was a freehold mid terrace former care home in Islington, N1. With planning for conversion to C3 residential and guided at £1.5million+, the property sold for £1.93 million.

Across the two days, 330 lots were sold with a 91% success rate, underlining strong buyer demand and marking a total raised double that of January 2025. The results point to continued momentum at the start of the year and sustained confidence across the residential investment market.

Richard Adamson, Managing Partner and Residential Auctioneer at Allsop, said: “We are delighted with the results of our first residential auction of the year, which proved exceptionally successful, achieving over £65 million in sales and a 91% success rate. This follows the momentum of our December auction, which raised more than £70 million and marked our largest sale of 2025. The trend we are seeing suggests buyers are returning to the market in a measured and considered way as conditions continue to improve, with investors who had previously adopted a wait-and-see approach now beginning to re-engage.”

Highlights from the auction include:

• Lot 213: Southdown Avenue, Birmingham – three freehold detached buildings comprising a total of fifteen flats. The property was guided at £625,000+ and sold under the hammer, after some highly competitive bidding, for £1,260,000
• Lot 29: Aldershot, Hampshire - long leasehold self-contained flats, fully let producing £131,760, which sold for £1,117,000 from a guide price of £980,000
• Lot 106: Balham, Lomdon - a freehold end of terrace building internally arranged to provide over 1,900 sq ft of accommodation. The property sold under the hammer for £830,000 from a guide price of £640,000.

Allsop’s next residential auction will take place on 25th and 26th February 2026. It is already shaping up to be another large two-day sale with well over 280 lots already entered.
