It has also announced plans to hold an additional autumn auction to give sellers and buyers enhanced access to the marketplace.

Richard Auterac, chairman at Acuitus, commented: “Even though the overall social and economic situation remains fluid, we have already seen sustained investor demand at our May auction, and we want to ensure that our selling and buying clients have the best opportunities to access the marketplace when they need.

“For this reason, we shall hold an additional live-streamed auction on September 23rd [2020] and, additionally, have available single-lot online auctions for clients who want a bespoke and flexible sales route which is immediate and has comprehensive market reach.
