Savills raises £37m at first auction of 2021

Standout sales included a farmhouse in Salcombe, which went for £1.7m on the day, and a mixed-use proposition on Notting Hill’s Clarendon Road, which ended up fetching £1.19m.

'The auction room is one of the few places you’re guaranteed to get your property sale across the line in a timely manner', says the agency, as it confirms another live event for the beginning of March.

The pair of mid-terrace buildings on Durham Place fell down in the middle of the night.
