Auctions: Record for the fair at Enniskillen

By Michael Drake

Daniel Clarke was well pleased when Ross's latest Irish sale ended. "We had around 300 lots and of these 85% were sold," he tells me.

"We were very pleased in achieving a record price for Kathleen Bridle's 'Enniskillen Fair'.

"While she may be considered a less fashionable artist than others the painting sold for a magnificent £6,500.

"Of course, she was the art teacher of the internationally acclaimed William Scott."

Another highly talented Irish painter is Romeo Toogood.

His work, 'Ballintoy,' made the second highest price ever reached at auction of £5,000. Toogood taught TP Flanagan and Basil Blackshaw at the Belfast College of Art.

There were other fine prices including the £9,000 paid for Gerard Dillon's 'The Music Teacher' and James Humbert Craig's 'The Prime of Summertime', an oil on board which went at £8,500.

Among others were:

William Conor - Belfast Mill Workers, pencil on paper, £5,500; Colin Middleton - Ramore Head, Portrush, oil on canvas, £5,000; Cecil Maguire - Twelve Bens from Letterdyfe, oil on board, £4,800; Andrew Nicholl - A Bank of Wild Flowers by a Lough, watercolour, £4,700; William Conor - artist's mother, wax crayon on paper, £4,500; Basil Blackshaw - Landscape, oil on canvas, £4,000.

GALLERY SHOW

GORMLEY'S Fine Art in Belfast is playing host to the first solo exhibition in Northern Ireland of paintings by Irish-Swiss artist, Claudio Viscardi.

The exhibition, entitled Equinox, opened on Thursday and will run for two weeks.

Claudio is based on the Beara Peninsula, Co Kerry. He has exhibited throughout Ireland and internationally, and can be found in the collections of the AIB, Bill Cullen and Jury's Hotels.

New works by Eugene McGuile are also featured in a mini show.

Auctions Can Yield Up A Bargain

By Jane Hall,

With house prices now out of reach for many - despite signs the market is slowing in some areas - buyers are having to look harder for bargains.

One alternative is to buy at auction, says Jane Hall.

A glance through the daytime television schedules reveals that Britain is in the grip of auction fever, with programmes such as Bargain Hunt, Cash In the Attic and Flog It highlighting our love of a bargain.

This love affair shows no signs of abating.

But for those hoping to emulate the likes of David Dickinson and pick up a house "as cheap as chips", the auction room can be a nerve-wracking place.

Yet a growing number of people are now looking to the auction room as a means of getting their feet on the property ladder.

Buying at auction now accounts for an estimated 5pc and rising of all property transactions, according to the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (Rics).

Recent figures from online property database Focus show the value of residential properties sold at auction during the first six months of 2003 rose 12pc to £612m, helped by a 19.5pc increase in the average value of residential lots to £113,599.

Buying at auction sounds like a dream, especially as the traditional method takes an average of 12 weeks from the day an offer is accepted until contracts are exchanged. During that time, buyers can be gazumped or sellers may decide to stay put and chains break.

Almost one agreed sale in three now never makes it to exchange of contracts.

A big advantage for saleroom buyers is that once the auctioneer's hammer falls, the property belongs to them and neither they nor the seller can pull out. The buyer hands over a deposit and may move in within 28 days.

Around 25,000 properties now go to auction every year at more than 200 auction houses nationwide.

Such sales - which are the norm in the United States and Australia - really took off in the UK in the 1990s when lenders were having to sell-off property they had repossessed, often at a loss, but couldn't sell on the open market. They became a magnet for buyers who wanted to take advantage of the lower prices and pick up a bargain.

Although there has been a reduction in the number of auctions being held as the property market has picked up and fewer homes are being repossessed, they are still going. And they still attract bargain hunters.

The reason why auctions still produce mark-downs is simple. Most properties being sold at auction are there for one reason. Their owners - and this includes lenders with repossessions on their hands - need a quick sale and are therefore often prepared to accept offers well below the market value.

But despite the financial advantages of buying property at auction, many people are wary of doing so. Not for the faint-hearted, an auction room is an unfamiliar environment for most and is certainly not a conventional way to buy a home.

As a result, it is seen by many to be a risky business. This is not actually the case, says Andrew Entwhistle, associate partner of surveyors and valuers George F White, which has offices in Alnwick and Wolsingham and holds between 10 and 15 property auctions across the region every year.

"There are two golden rules for buying at auction," Andrew says. "The first is to do your homework and get an answer to every question you have before the auction. This may cost you, but it will be cash well spent.

"The second is to go to the auction with a fixed price in your head and to stick to it. If you follow those rules, buying at auction need be no more risky than going through an estate agent."

While George F White usually deals in properties with what Andrew describes as the "wow factor," and buyers who pay in cash, he says in general there can be bargains for the taking at auctions.

"A lot depends on who is there on the day bidding, and how the property has been marketed. If it hasn't been marketed well or the seller wants to get rid of it quickly, then there is a possibility you will get a bargain.

"In the current elevated housing market, auctions are preferred by many. It is a transparent way to buy. You have the advantage of being able to inspect all the deeds, searches and contracts beforehand."

Richard Francis, head of auctions at estate agent Keith Pattinson, says: "Every month it staggers me that, while some properties go for more than anticipated, many go for much less.

"We are attracting first time buyers and those looking to trade-up as well as investors, and have properties across all price ranges, from £1,000 to £750,000."

Andrew Entwhistle throws cold water on the idea that an auctioneer may mistake a twitch or a cough for a bid. "A property auction is not like a lamb sale where a sneeze will buy you a whole flock. At a property auction you generally have to wave your arms around very strongly. However, my advice would be if you're not wanting to bid, keep your arms folded."

A more common problem is bidding for the wrong lot. Make sure you know exactly which lot you want and which lot the auctioneer is taking bids on.

You should also check that the property is still up for auction and hasn't been sold privately.

So while buying at auction can be nerve-wracking, it need be no more risky than buying through an estate agent.

The only difference is that the selling price will be determined by the amount of competition bidders are prepared to offer.

Most people who buy at auction are cash buyers who already have finance available. But some inexperienced buyers do venture into the auction market. If you decide to do so, then you must be certain that your finance is in place before making an offer.

The auction catalogues are released usually two to four weeks before the sale and give a guide to prices, so you will know roughly how much you will need. But remember that the final price may be higher, particularly if there are several bidders for the property.

The most important point to remember about this pre-auction planning is that all of the paperwork, surveys, searches, and financing must be carried out before the auction itself.

But one of the major advantages is that the purchase goes through very quickly, therefore you bypass problems like chains or a long wait while the vendor finds a suitable property to move to.

People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances.

The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them.

Most people live, whether physically, intellectually or morally, in a very restricted circle of their potential being.

They make use of a very small portion of their possible consciousness, and of their soul's resources in general, much like a man who, out of his whole bodily organism, should get into a habit of using and moving only his little finger.

Great emergencies and crises show us how much greater our vital resources are than we had supposed.

-- William James
