been to a few savills auctions, always seem to go well above what an agent would have put them at.Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostIt happens. I went to an auction recently where the guide price for a house was 135k. Knowing it was undervalued, they started the bidding at 150. I eventually got knocked out at 210k, and the bloody thing finished at around 285k. It needed at least 100k spending on it, and was worth about 350k done up.
Madness
