National show attracts many hundreds of potential buyers

Hundreds of investors and buyers in search of properties attended the event, where over 17,000 properties currently for sale (with a combined value of over £6bn), including those marketed by Hamptons, were showcased.

Property experts, conveyancing and surveying specialists and mortgage advisors were on hand to offer their expertise and guidance at no charge to visitors, with many appointments lasting over 30 minutes. Visitors also varied, from couples seeking their next home and first-time buyers to small scale buy-to-let investors and large scale foreign investors looking to build UK property portfolios worth over £500m+.

The National Property Showcase also included a successful ‘taster’ auction, consisting of nine varied lots from across the UK, was attended by around 100 people and a dozen telephone bidders. Visitors were treated to an exciting auction, with some fast paced bidding; one lot jumped £38,000 in less than eight minutes. Five lots sold, with three additional lots under conditional offers.
