Buyers snapped up property and land in demand in the Redruth area at auction.

They went under the hammer in the first sale of 2025 by Clive Emson Land and Property Auctioneers.

An end-terrace three-bedroom house in Raymond Road with land sold for three times its freehold guide price when the gavel fell at £152,000. It was listed at £50,000 to £60,000.

Auctioneer David Henwood said: “There were a wide variety of lots in our first auction of 2025.

“Land and residential property in the Redruth drew strong interest with demand taking sale prices above guide prices, and significantly so in some cases.”

In Tregea Terrace, Portreath, a two-bedroom terraced cottage sold for £181,000.

Listed with a freehold guide of £140,000 plus, it was sold for the first time in many decades. The house was auctioned in arrangement with MAP Estate Agents.

In Falmouth Road, Redruth, an end-terrace house with three bedrooms sold for £139,000.

It was auctioned in arrangement with MAP Estate Agents with a freehold guide of £120,000 to £130,000.

Freehold land and roads at Barncoose Industrial Estate, Barncoose, sold for ten times their freehold guide.

They fetched £20,250 after being listed with a guide of £2,000 to £3,000 on instructions from Cornwall Council.

The lot comprised separate sections spread across a mixed commercial and industrial area. Part of the road provides access to Gateway Business Centre.

The next auction of eight this year by Clive Emson Auctioneers concludes on March 20, with bidding live 48 hours beforehand. Lot entries close on February 24, with the catalogue online from February 27.
