About

Allsop is an independent property consultancy that has offices in the UK and Ireland, and is currently Ireland’s leading auction house selling through commercial, residential and “online only” auctions. Following the financial crash in Ireland there was a significant impact on the housing market, often putting ownership into question. In order to combat the market stagnation, Allsop held the first Irish property auction in 2011. Selling a broad range of properties across a commercial and residential portfolio can often demand a high-level of legal support, including contracting, transaction support, due diligence and compliance. The legal team, led by head of legal Darren Doyle, has been crucial to Allsop’s continuing success, allowing the company to securely create new approaches to property sales and remain the market-leader in its field. The complexity of the sales that the legal team support cannot be underestimated; often there can be personal, or even political, attachment to the properties that are being sold, and the legal team has to be sure of the origins of the real estate up for sale.
