Auction Business Launches New Property Firm
Property business Paul Fosh Auctions has launched a new business, YourBid. YourBid lists the properties it has on its books on its website and the dates on which bidding takes place. At the end of the auction, the highest bidder has the exclusivity of 56 days in which to make all the necessary arrangements to complete the purchase of the property. The types of property offered in this way are those which are generally mortgageable as opposed to many in a traditional Paul Fosh Auctions sale which either require major renovation or could be unmortgageable. Auctions valuer Olivia Williams has been appointed to head up YourBid for Paul Fosh Auctions. Owner and managing director Paul Fosh of the Newport-based business, said: 'We believe that this is a real game changer not just for us as a business but the industry as a whole. 'YourBid opens up property auctions to a whole new swathe of buyers who, up until now, have been unable to take advantage of the very many benefits of buying a house at auction. 'I don't like the term but so-called Modern Auctions allow many more people, who until now have had to watch enviously and frustratedly from the sidelines as properties that they would otherwise have loved to have bought sold during traditional property auctions, to cash buyers, speculators and investors. 'It is aimed fairly and squarely at owner occupiers who have targeted a particular property which they want to make their home as against developers who may want to do up and flip the lot. 'In a nutshell, YourBid enables these buyers to enter the market. Unlike traditional auctions where when the gavel falls a contract to buy is exchanged, in our new, modern, system successful bidders have time to make all the necessary arrangements, including arranging their mortgage or means to buy the property, before the sale completes. 'It's a win/win which we believe will add a further string to our bow of what is a constantly expanding offering from Paul Fosh Group which now not only covers traditional property auctions but estate agency and lettings. 'After a soft launch we're now confident that, after ramping up our offering, we can soon be achieving a high number of sales each month just through YourBid.'

Fancy living on a narrowboat? Here's your chance
Well, a Newport-based auction firm may have just the thing. More used to selling property firmly set on dry land a Paul Fosh Auctions is entering uncharted territory with its first sale of a waterborne lot - a narrowboat. Moored at a tranquil rural location just across the River Severn in Gloucestershire on a private mooring on the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal, the 72-foot traditional working narrowboat offers the chance for a complete lifestyle reboot. Angie Davey, of Paul Fosh Auctions, said: 'This gorgeous narrowboat, rurally moored near the historic village of Frampton-on-Severn, Gloucestershire, is surely one of the most unusual and exciting properties I've had for sale over the many years I've been handling lots at auction. 'The traditional narrowboat, appears to have everything you'd need for a life afloat, offers new owners a cosy peaceful home on a tranquil canal setting. "And there's also the enticing opportunity to spread your wings, as it were, and set forth on a journey or adventure and explore the UK's myriad inland waterways.' Riverwitch, at Tanhouse Farm Mooring, Frampton on Severn, is listed with a guide price of £67,000. Angie said: 'This narrowboat, which was refurbished by the current owners, is moored in an idyllic, peaceful and private mooring on the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal - part of which is a 16-mile stretch of canal from the mooring with no locks to contend with for those beginning their narrowboat adventure. 'The Canal & River Trust (CRT) licences cover you to travel on most inland waterways but for certain rivers additional licences might be required." The canal has manned bridges and no locks and you don't pay for this when you use them. The boat benefits from a good deal of privacy as it is moored on the opposite side of the usual towpath and with access via a short stroll from the car parking area, woodland and footbridge. Angie said: 'The current accommodation includes an open plan lounge/dining/study with wood burner, kitchen with appliances including washing machine, fridge/freezer, dryer and cooker; two cabins (bedrooms) with storage/dressing area, and shower room. 'The embankment/garden area is secluded by woodland behind. The gas boiler provides hot water and central heating. There is also an electric hook up. "The permanent mooring is for 12 months per annum and mooring costs are £350 plus £20 electricity pcm." Riverwitch has gas which is LPG. The Canal and River Trust licence is £430 per quarter which pays for water, rubbish collection, sewage emptying and use of the locks. 'Riverwitch is being sold with all the necessary batteries, inverter, Eberspatcher heater, and a well-maintained Lister engine. The boat had a full out of water survey in February and also has an up-to-date boat safe certificate. 'There are marine finance and mortgages are available to buy boats.' Frampton on Severn is a picturesque village about 10 miles (16 km) south of Gloucester on the east bank of the River Severn, and on the west bank of the River Frome. The village is linked by footpath to the Sharpness Canal. Angie said: 'Viewings of the narrowboat are strictly by appointment only. Please contact the office to book a viewing and for the correct postcode - 01633 254044.' The narrowboat is one of some 74 varied lots for sale online at Paul Fosh Auctions which starts from 12 noon on Tuesday, July 29 and ends from 5pm on Thursday, July 31.

Seaside home on English Riviera could be yours for just £1 - but it does come with a catch
Your pocket change could buy you a seaside home on the English Riviera which has gone on the market for just £1 - but it does come with a catch. The two-bedroom apartment in Paignton, Devon - aptly named Sea Breeze - is only one minute away from the town's famous sea front. But whoever snaps up the cheap-as-chips summer bolt hole will have to be willing to accept the home needs a lot of work. Sea Breeze looks like a building site on the inside and is unfurnished as it has recently been refurbished and is in the final stages of second fix. It could be transformed into a dream home by the beach if the buyer is happy to get the finishing touches done. Sean Roper, of South Wales based Paul Fosh Auctions, said: 'This really is an opportunity not to be missed. 'If you're in the market for a seaside bolt hole or holiday let in one of England's red hot holiday spots then this chic apartment could well fit the bill. 'Sea Breeze, on Hyde Road, Paignton, is a ground floor apartment complete with open plan kitchen and living area with two bedrooms and bathroom. 'And if the beach is just a bit too sandy or it's too hot then there is a restful rear garden in which to recline and soak up the summer sunshine in peaceful Paignton.' He added: 'The property has been recently refurbished and is at final stages of second fix. 'The kitchen is already supplied and in the property. It requires skimming and painting before being ready to enjoy or let out or sell on the open market. 'This a great opportunity for an investor which won't break the bank in terms of expenditure to complete the refurbishment of the apartment. 'As serviced accommodation or as a holiday let, a well-furnished to a high standard apartment the Paignton property could well generate a rent of around £35,000 per annum on a short stay basis. 'If a long term let is considered with the property refurbished to a similar high standard it is going to command a monthly rental in the region of £900- £1,000 p.m.' Sea Breeze, along with some eighty other lots, is being offered for sale online at Paul Fosh Auctions which starts from 12 noon on Tuesday, July 29 and ends from 5pm on Thursday July 31.
