THE ART OF AUCTIONS Issue 06

mar / apr 2013

It’s Auction Season!

Around the country auctioneers are getting ready for busy auction season.

Promotional campaigns will start from mid January onwards after the Christmas recess.

This is the time of increased mobility with many buyers coming to Perth as a result of company transfers and it’s the right time to register children for a new school.

The Auction process allows for 3 phases.

- to sell prior to auction - to sell on the day - post auction sale.

bourkes blog In the last 5 Auctions we sold 36 Vista Street, Kensington – prior to auction 106 Hensman Street, South Perth – on the day 18 Norton Street, South Perth - within 14 days of auction 64 Edgecumbe Street - within 14 days of auction 4 Central Avenue, Mount Pleasant – currently being negotiated

All of these properties sold much quicker than the average days on market via a normal sale (which is currently 67 days average).

Many executors and trustees sell by auction as there is then no dispute as to the highest price being obtained on the day after a concerted marketing campaign.

We have a free guide we can email you about auction, So please call on 9474 2000 and we will send it to you.

right on your doorstep HOBBS AVENUE

BESSELL AVENUE

Named in honour of architect and WWI soldier, Lieutenant General Sir Joseph John Talbot HOBBS. During WW1 he served in the Middle East and Gallipoli.

Hobbs was a humane commander who cared deeply for the welfare of his men, often commuting prison sentances handed down by field officers.

Named after WWI and WWII soldier, Brigadier General Alfred Joseph BESSELL-Browne. Born in Auckland he attended Perth High School, enlisting in the Perth Artillery Volunteers. In 1914 he was appointed to the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) and given command of the 8th Field Artillery Battery.

When he retired from the army in 1927 he took an interest in the erection of memorials, he designed the Western Australian War Memorial at Kings Park.

He served in Egypt and at Gallipoli, for which he was made a Companion of St Michael and St George and mentioned in dispatches.

RYRIE AVENUE

BIRDWOOD AVENUE

Named after WWI Major General, William Granville de Laune RYRIE. In 1914 he was appointed commander of the 2nd Light Horse Brigade of the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) and posted to Egypt. He attacked and captured Gaza, fought near Beersheba and took part in the capture of Jerusalem. In 1918, he took command of the ANZAC Mounted Division.

Named in honour of WWI Field Marshal Lord BIRDWOOD affectionately known as ‘Birdy’. He became the first leader of the ANZAC’s and was promoted to full General in 1917. Like many other senior officers at Gallipoli, he was scornful of danger and once made a point of not relocating his headquarters to safer ground, despite being under fire. He was a frequent visitor to the front line.
