TGC launches The Auction Collective to meet rising demand from commercial owners and investors

building, a retail shop, a service station and a caravan park investment, all of which present an incredible array of opportunities for investors, business owner- occupiers and developers.” Jesse Davidson, Director and Chief Auctioneer of AuctionWORKS says they had auctioned about 120 commercial properties in September with a record clearance rate of 87.5% - their best month on record since the company’s inception in 1997. “The auction success this year has been the best I have seen in my career, particularly around quality leased investment stock. The credit that buyers are accessing is cheaper, and yields are skinny, but they are still seeing the value, and the vendors are getting the premium price for their properties, so it’s a win-win. “During the COVID pandemic, technology has enabled us to run auctions online and via the phone.

And for buyers, whether they are investors or owner-occupiers, now is the strategic time to get into the market. “Businesses can get value for money, especially if they want to get out of the rental market and purchase their own premises. The pandemic has caused many businesses to re-evaluate their workspace requirements. In many cases, they are downsizing, changing location, upgrading their premises and or looking for better value. As a result, several of our listings have been converted from leasing to sale opportunities. “To satisfy this demand, we are launching to market The Auction Collective, which has also been a fitting time to celebrate our 30th year in business for TGC. The Collective is a group of properties that includes individual and combined office suites, a commercial
