A Toorak mansion sold for $32 million last week, even as the preliminary auction clearance rate slipped to 61.5 per cent in the wider market.
Mr Dawson-Damer, the son of George Dawson-Damer, the 7th Earl of Portarlington, is a former Irish Guards officer and friend of the British royal family, having served as equerry to the late Queen Mother in the 1980s. He attended Prince William and Kate Middleton’s 2011 wedding.
In election-busy Melbourne, auction volumes dipped to 987 from 1008 a week earlier and the preliminary clearance rate also fell to 61 per cent from 65.5 per cent, a figure later revised down to 62.3 per cent when the results of more auctions were reported. Ugly duckling: But the 1 Clifton Street property in inner-eastern Melbourne’s Richmond sold $1.3 million over reserve for $4.4 million.
