Ahead of Clive Emson’s November auction, managing director James Emson said that while ballroom auctions are ideal, online auctions are still strong and “as long as the price is right, lots will attract bidders”.
He added that despite the impact of Covid-19, “there is still a strong market for commercial, residential and land” and consistent interest in people “building on, selling and buying land for development”.
The auction house has released a 122-lot catalogue for its next auction on 4 November.
