In 2024, the property market reflects resilience and dynamism amidst fluctuating interest rates and shifting investor sentiments. Property auctions surged in activity, mirroring pre-COVID prosperity, with Auction House Scotland achieving notable milestones. Investors face challenges with impending mortgage deals, while renewed interest in property investment signals opportunities in a changing landscape. 

Impact of Interest Rate Fluctuations: Fluctuating interest rates continue to shape the property market, leading sellers to adjust their strategies to secure timely property sales. 

Significant Property Auction Activity: The property auction sector saw significant activity in 2023, reminiscent of the prosperous years preceding COVID-19. Auction House Scotland achieved a notable milestone in terms of both the number of lots and funds raised for our clients. 

Considerations for Investors: While investors may still benefit from competitive fixed-rate mortgage deals, the impending conclusion of these deals could present challenges, potentially prompting some to exit the market swiftly. Property auctions offer a solution for those seeking a quick transition. 

Renewed Interest in Property Investment: Despite a previous decline in investor interest, 2024 shows a resurgence of enthusiasm. High-net-worth individuals are acquiring commercial buildings throughout Scotland, and there's also a growing interest in 'property flipping', potentially attracting new clients to the auction space. 

Accessible Opportunities: Property auctions are now accessible to a broader range of participants beyond seasoned traders and investors. Auction House Scotland is dedicated to guiding individuals through the process, ensuring a smooth and rewarding experience for all involved.  

Our next in-room and livestream auction takes place on March 21st at the Radisson RED in Glasgow. To get a free evaluation, simply click here.
