Exceptional levels of interest for the properties in the two districts came at the city's last major property auction of the decade held by Mark Jenkinson and Son, where 30 of the 36 lots sold for £2.75m.
We also have just reported remarkable sales for last couple of years – our busiest period since the property crash of 2007 – holding 16 auctions where 502 of the 586 lots sold for £61.65 million, a success rate of 86 per cent.

The property on Woodseats Road, Woodseats, went for £132,000 and the one at Victor Street, Hillsborough, went for £101,000.
