66 Aberbeeg Road, Abertillery: This two-bedroom property in Aberbeeg was hotly contested, finally selling after 97 bids. It comprises a lounge, a fitted kitchen, a bathroom, and the two bedrooms with one featuring an en-suite. Further benefits include double glazing and gas central heating. It sold for three times its guide price, at £75,000.

The Courtybella Club, 59 Cardiff Road, Newport: There is hope yet for this former sports and social club in Newport, as it found a new owner. The property is within walking distance of Newport city centre and has a lot of features you would expect from a social club - snooker room, bar area, a skittles alley, gendered toilets, and an office. The first floor has also previously been used as a self-contained two-bedroom flat. This property went for just over its £290,000 guide price, for a grand total of £305,000 after eight bids from four bidders.

69 High Street, Rhymney: This property, comprising a former shop unit and two, one-bedroom flats, was another contested lot. The shop unit features traditional glazed windows and a roller shutter to the front, and the first-floor flats are currently let, providing an income of £2,400 per annum. It was also noted that the shop could achieve around £4,000 per annum if let. This property soared past its £48,000 guide price and was finally sold for £77,500 after 62 bids from seven bidders.

47 Church Street, Rogerstone: A number of people had their eye on this semi-detached property in Rogerstone. It is situated in a highly sought-after location and has a number of benefits, such as UPVC double glazing, gas central heating, a multi-fuel log burner, parking, and a picturesque back garden. The £117,000 guide price didn’t deter too many would-be buyers as it attracted 30 bids from eight bidders and was finally sold for £153,000.
