Significant interest

BidX1 says it has seen a steady stream of sales taking place over recent weeks, notwithstanding the difficulties being presented by the coronavirus crisis.

Commenting on this, Jonathan Fenn, director at BidX1, said: “Our technology has never been more important, allowing us to deliver for clients in challenging times. Irish properties on the platform clocked up more than 30,000 views in just four days last week, from 58 countries, so we’re still seeing significant interest from domestic and foreign investors.

“Building on the success of our partnership with Foxtons in the UK, we are now opening our platform to agents in Ireland. Cohesive thinking and collaboration will allow us to keep transactions moving at such an uncertain time, so we would be delighted to partner with agents who wish to combine their own expertise with the reach, transparency and flexibility of our online sales.”
