He said: “John Pye Property is the birthplace of online property auctions and since joining the business earlier this year, myself and the team have been working to unlock opportunities in Wales, of which there is an abundance.

“The ease of online auctions means that more investors are now using the platform to source and buy and sell properties, allowing more movement in the marketplace.

“This auction provides plenty of flexible options in quality locations that have the potential to be very profitable. Property enthusiasts and investors looking to build upon their portfolios and developers seeking to add value to properties should check out the auction sooner rather than later, so as not to miss out.”

Richard Reed, MRICS, head of property at John Pye Property, added: “We are proud to be offering such a breadth of development opportunities in Wales; a vibrant country that we have been active in for six years.

“We also opened Europe’s largest auction facility in Port Talbot in 2016 called John Pye Auction City selling a phenomenal range of household goods and vehicles to Wales.

“Since 2013, we have been the first completely online auctioneer for property and have offer through auction more than £250 million worth of property across the UK. With the addition of experienced and talented team members such as Matthew, we can expect to reveal many more solid investment opportunities in Wales as stock increases and our presence expands – watch this space.”
