A bulk property auction has been hailed as a success by the real estate company behind the event.
Ray White Wanganui had initially put 22 properties on its catalogue but sales prior to the night brought the eventual number back to 17.
Tim Hocquard, company principal, said the auction was a "huge success" and they would repeat the process in October.
"We were going to auction with 22 properties. Four went before the auction itself, another had sold the week before the auction so suddenly we were down to 17," Mr Hocquard said.
"Another one sold on the night and now we've got six under contract and are negotiating on two more," he said.
