Auction in Aberdeen

A delightful property in Grey Street, Aberdeen came under the auctioneer’s hammer recently.
The house belonged to Mrs Joe Coetzee, who at the grand old age of 93 has decided that it is time to move into Aalwynhof Old Age Home.
A spritely Mrs Coetzee was at the house to welcome many interested potential buyers, who were unanimously impressed by this neat and obviously well-loved home. Mrs Coetzee had moved here from Villeria on the death of her husband and was obviously sad to leave, whilst looking forward to a new chapter of her life at Aalwynhof.

The auctioneer, Duncan McLaggan of Port Elizabeth, read out the conditions of sale before opening the floor to bidding. After a slow start, the competition started in earnest with the house eventually being sold to a local man for R210 000.00.
