Harkalm - from Dealer to Developer in 20 years

may.dalton@allsop.co.uk (Adam Harvey, Ben Sarner, George Walker) — Tue, 2 Dec 2025 16:18:42 +0000

George, Adam and Ben explore the story of this progress, the key moments, their most memorable auction purchase and several hints and tips for active investors in today’s market, where opportunities remain to be taken.

Whilst the team of 30 is still active in the auction sector, their appetite for deals spreads further afield.

Harkalm are typically investing £60-£70m annually into 30 or so mostly vacant properties to re position to clients and occupiers needs across several sectors. Having started on the High Street with national bookmakers like Coral, they work across many sectors from convenience stores and nurseries, now including drive through developments and a new and interesting expertise providing Special Educational Needs (SEN) schools.

All of their experience is focussed on creating institutional grade investment property to hold or trade on to a very receptive Private Investor market.

Following some advice from a business coach who said “you can’t run a supermarket or cornershop practices” they have captured the process for themselves. The market knowledge which they have leveraged so well over the years has now been integrated in their own in house “dating site” for buildings and tenants with the help of specialist data scientist working in house.

To close we ask how each of them would invest a £5m windfall in today’s market, for themselves and secondly for a passive investor seeking safe income and wealth preservation.

Myth Busting The Impact of AI on Real Estate Valuations

Wed, 27 Aug 2025 10:12:57 +0000

This episode of the Allsop Propchat explores how AI has already influenced the production of some of the most comprehensive and accurate valuation reports in the market. While the technology brings clear efficiencies, there are still limitations within current systems that demand the same level of diligence from valuation professionals as ever. Handled in the right way, however, the general view is that the time saved can allow for deeper thinking and ultimately lead to a better product for our clients — who then often use their own systems to summarise our reports.

We also discuss the RICS guidance note, which is in the process of being finalised ahead of its formal adoption in Autumn 2025.

What is trading well in this tight Auction market and what will the next few months look like?

may.dalton@allsop.co.uk (Richard Adamson, George Walker, Will Clough) — Thu, 31 Jul 2025 11:50:18 +0000

With 70 years of auction experience between them, our Allsop Auctioneers discuss some of the drivers for buyers and sellers in this tricky market. With over 1500 lots sold in the first half of the year there are both highs and lows and some extraordinary prices achieved, which almost defines how hard it is to price stock.

The pool of buyers continues to expand – where do they come from and what are they competing the hardest for?

With some commercial examples we also review the revival of retail and how returns compare to other sectors and what buyers compete most for.

The second half of the year is hard to predict but we are anticipation an improving market in both the residential and commercial sectors – we discuss why.

Two auctions, the Budget and the Trump result - 10 days unravelled!

Mon, 18 Nov 2024 18:17:51 +0000

Richard Adamson and George Walker, Allsop Auctioneers are joined by Vijay Parikh, Managing Partner of Harold Benjamin Solicitors and Seb Verity, Allsop’s Head of Research in a four way conversation.

Whilst many markets had been waiting for the Budget before making their next steps, the Trump result also took many by surprise and will have similar long term impacts. Was it more important to the UK than the Budget, now that we have had time to reflect on both?

Will investors turn more to “property and gold in these uncertain times”?

How have Harold Benjamin’s clients been preparing for the longer term?

Seb Verity leads on many points with his appetite for data analysis and throws some light on some of the not so obvious forces driving both markets and how things might develop from here.

Allsop has transacted over £150m in the last month across all sectors and lot sizes so there is plenty to talk about,

The return of Permitted Development – what we have learnt and what does the next cycle look like?

Thu, 9 May 2024 13:53:20 +0000

Auctioneers Richard Adamson and George Walker are joined by Allsop Residential experts Andrew Boyd and William Shoebotham to discuss many shared experiences with permitted development blocks which first appeared as empty office buildings everywhere a decade ago.

Ten years on, having seen one of the biggest ever lots at auction sold at £13.5M, the market has developed into a sophisticated provider of residential space. Allsop sold £100m of these assets in 2023 alone. These properties are now being fought over by Institutions, Family offices and High Net Worth buyers as the team discuss at length. Who are the buyers and what are they paying?

With the return of large scale PD, Andrew Boyd highlights the restrictions on obtaining prior approval and where we are likely to see large scale office to residential conversion.

With his Development expertise, Andrew Boyd looks ahead, how will the genre develop as a simple planning tool and become part of the answer to urban regeneration and provide homes in London, the South East and across the UK and a return for those same Investors.

Auction: Is the rollercoaster ride of 2023, set to continue into 2024?

may.dalton@allsop.co.uk (George Walker, Richard Adamson) — Tue, 23 Jan 2024 13:59:52 +0000

Is it time to build a portfolio? What will prove most attractive to buyers? Will yields stabilise? What assets will provide capital growth?

We ask our experts where they would invest their cash in their respective markets and whether they are optimistic of confidence strengthening in the auction market in 2024.

The auction market is a barometer for much of the wider market and in 2023 our auction teams sold over 2,200 commercial, residential & mixed-use properties across the UK and raised £889m at an average success rate of 86%.

You can find out more about our auction team at allsop.co.uk/auctions or the services Allsop offer at allsop.co.uk
