During the auction, 29 competitive bids were placed on the property, 21% of which were made during the bid extension. The final bid of €580,000 came in at 1.03 pm. 

On completion of the auction, all parties were notified of the results. The unsuccessful bidder's deposits were released and the successful bidder's deposit was captured. Contracts were sent by the agent and signed digitally via DocuSign to complete the digital transaction.
