Fire-damaged Cobh house sells for €44k over asking price after online auction

The dilapidated property sold for almost €200,000 after a bidding war

A dilapidated Cork home severely damaged in a fire in 2021 has sold for €44,000 above its initial asking price via an auction on an online bidding platform.

No 48 Gardiners Walk in Cobh was put on the market with an asking price of €150,000 on January 24.

Pictures of the property on Daft.ie show a four-bedroom home gutted by fire. Some of the house’s front windows are boarded up, and most of its interior walls and fixtures have been badly burned and blackened by smoke.

On February 16, the house was auctioned on Youbid.ie, a digital portal for live online property auctions.

Amid a quick succession of bids from six different parties, the 158sqm home’s price had jumped up to €194,000 before the auction concluded some 90 minutes later.

Youbid associate director Brigid Downes said online auctions were beneficial for buyers in that they can see how the bidding on their desired property unfolds before deciding to make an offer themselves.

She said that No 48 Gardiners Walk was one of a number of properties auctioned by the platform that day.

“We had a variety of properties on offer at our latest auction, from homes in prime rural locations to fixer-uppers, to commercial premises, and there was great deal of interest,” she said.

Another property in need of significant refurbishment — a three-bedroom, home in the townland of Lissahane near Listowel, Co Kerry — also sold for well above its asking price after a similar bidding battle between two prospective buyers.

The original €66,000 asking price rose to €85,000 just two minutes after the online auction began.

Mulcahy returns to his native city after living in Dublin for work and college for several years.

He graduated from Technological University Dublin in February 2019 with an MSc in Real Estate after previously graduating with a BA in English and Geography from Mary Immaculate College in October 2017.

“I am delighted to welcome Tomás, who is joining at an exciting time for the company and the online property auction sector”, said Youbid.ie director Michael O’Connor.

With offices in Limerick, Dublin and Cork, Youbid.ie has experience in all aspects of residential and commercial property services for private, corporate and multinational clients.

The digital property platfrom for live and online auctions nationwide was created in May 2020.

While the initial strategy was to hold online auctions to assist in selling the unsold lots from in-room auctions, the Covid-19 pandemic proved to be a boost for the business model and Youbid.ie developed into a monthly online auction.

Hundreds of properties have been sold on the platform since then, with a success rate of over 96 per cent and average prices more than 21 per cent above reserves.
