GOING, GOING, GONE…..AGAIN!

If buying or selling a house is taking too long for you, why not try a property auction? Clarke Gammon Wellers sold all the houses at its summer auction in just half an hour and are holding their next auction of properties on Wednesday 15 October at 2 pm at the Club Suite, The Holiday Inn, Guildford. With a decision made the instant the hammer falls it offers both buyers and sellers a decisive conclusion to their search or sale of their home.

Clarke Gammon Wellers’ autumn auction has fifteen properties which will appeal to a wide range of property buyers be they owner occupiers, property investors or developers, ranging from houses in need of refurbishment to period cottages and substantial family houses.

Once the hammer falls, buyers know that the deal is done and they have secured their purchase. Vendors get the best of both worlds. They can try selling in the normal way but by entering their home in an auction they know that if all else fails, they will, providing they are prepared to be flexible on price, make a sale at auction.

Among the properties being auctioned is a delightful Grade II listed three bedroom home in Petworth which carries a price guide of £550,000. Dating back to 1840 it was originally a pair of almshouses and includes a detached two bedroom cottage. There is also a traditional two storey, two bedroom semi detached house in need of complete refurbishment in Guildford with a guide price of £150,000 and a charming character three bedroom semi-detached cottage overlooking paddocks in a semi-rural location within the village of Normandy at £295,000. For anyone looking to be near Woking, in the popular residential area of Westfield, there is a detached two bedroom bungalow in the auction with a guide price of £230,000 while situated in Wrecclesham, near Farnham there is an attractive Grade II listed end of terrace cottage with two bedrooms which carries a price of £150,000.

Jeremy Zeid, partner at Clarke Gammon Wellers and property auctioneer, said: "This is an effective selling vehicle for everyone; sellers can maximise property values and for purchasers, it's a quick transaction, avoiding problems of chains, gazumping and vendors changing their minds.

" Our new venue at The Holiday Inn, with its ample parking and comfortable facilities makes it an even more efficient and stress-free way of purchasing property." For more information contact Clarke Gammon Wellers on 01483 880909.

LEAFY OUTLOOK CLOSE TO GUILDFORD TOWN CENTRE

Although there has been a prevalence of newly built apartments recently, brand new homes within close proximity to Guildford town centre are in short supply - until now. The first five homes have now been released at Park View, off Stockton Road by local developers, Martin Grant Homes. Despite their urban location, many of the homes have an open outlook across the adjoining parkland.

Comprising just 14, three bedroom terraced and semi detached homes, the town centre location combined with its parkland setting means these houses enjoy the best of both worlds. The houses have been built to take full advantage of their parkland, cul-de-sac setting, with French doors opening from the well-proportioned living rooms onto the back gardens. All the kitchens have an integrated fridge freezer, a stainless steel oven, gas hob and extractor hood as well as space and plumbing for a dishwasher and washing machine. Upstairs the three bedrooms are complemented by a bathroom and shower room ensuite to the principal bedroom.

" Although there have been a number of new developments of apartments recently, brand new family homes this close to the town centre are a rare occurrence. With many of them benefiting from open views over the park, I have no doubt that these homes will find a ready market among young professionals and families alike," commented Tony Jamieson, senior partner of Guildford selling agents, Clarke Gammon Wellers.

Park View is in a perfect position, not only for access to the excellent facilities of Guildford town centre but its transport links to London, the south coast and the motorway network. Prices for the first phase of homes at Park View range from £305,000 to £335,000 and details are available from selling agents Clarke Gammon Wellers, Guildford office on 01483 880900 or by visiting their website at www.clarkegammon.co.uk.
