UPDATE: 1st May, 2013. The NAMA foreclosure list has been updated for March 2013. The list now has 1,723 properties up from 1,715 in February 2013. But as we don’t know how many properties have been deleted or sold during during March 2013, we can’t really deduce that just 8 properties have been added. NAMA doesn’t produce a list showing the latest additions only, so you have to trawl through the listings online. Also NAMA’s email feature doesn’t work on the search function, even though this has been brought to NAMA’s attention on several occasions.
UPDATE: 3rd April, 2013. The NAMA foreclosure list has been updated for February 2013. The list now has 1,715 properties up from 1,634 in January 2013. But as we don’t know how many properties have been deleted or sold during during January 2013, we can’t really deduce that just 81 properties have been added.
UPDATE: 28th February 2013. The NAMA foreclosure list has been updated for January 2013. The list now has 1,717 properties up from 1,626 in December 2012. But as we don’t know how many properties have been deleted or sold during during February 2013, we can’t really deduce that just 91 properties have been added.
UPDATE: 1st February 2013. The NAMA foreclosure list has been updated for December 2012. The list now has 1,626 properties up from 1,499 in November 2012. But as we don’t know how many properties have been deleted or sold during during December 2012, we can’t really deduce that 127 properties have been added. NAMA is one day late in updating the list which is still error ridden in its implementation. You can’t even email the data because of errors in how NAMA has implemented its search. Poor form which directly reflects on Brendan McDonagh – he can’t blame anyone else for this standard of delivery.
UPDATE: 18th December, 2012. TheStory has the latest foreclosure list in one downloadable document here.

This is a new page which is devoted to the property with which NAMA has taken enforcement action. On 28th July, 2011 NAMA published its first list of real estate property to which the agency has appointed receivers. Gavin Sheridan at thestory.ie has converted the data to a downloadable spreadsheet and also mapped the information on a Google map of the UK and Ireland. The results of his endeavours are here.
NAMA provides the following caveats for the list which it publishes
“The fact that a property is listed on this website does not necessarily imply that that property is currently on the open market for sale. Insolvency professionals’ rights and obligations are not affected.
Any query with respect to the sale status of any property listed, or any other matter relating to the facts of a specific property, should be directed to the appointed receiver. The name of the receiver firm or other insolvency agent is outlined alongside each specified asset. Where applicable their web address detailing their contact details is also provided.
If however you believe that information contained in this document is inaccurate or misleading please contact NAMA at properties@nama.ie and NAMA will correct or clarify the information as necessary.”

(19) Emmet Oliver at the Irish Independent seems to have the inside track on the sale of five Derek Quinlan-associated properties not reported below. He claims the apartment owned by Derek and his wife, Siobhan at the Merrion Hotel in Dublin has been sold for €2m, which is impressive as it was seemingly valued at €1m when NAMA foreclosed earlier this year. In London, a residential property at 40 Charles Street in Mayfair has now been sold according to Emmet for GBP 25m (€29m) which was the reported asking price when the property came on the market in May 2010. Given the strength of the prime central London market in the past year, the sale price might be considered disappointing though it should be stressed that Emmet doesn’t indicate when the property was in fact sold. The thir1d building, 165-169 New Bond Street which houses Asprey jewellers was sold for GBP 75m in September 2009 so Emmet’s reporting today is more a cumulative work, it seems though he claims the sale price was GBP 73m. Also reported is the sale of the DKNY building at 27 Old Bond Street for GBP 50m in May 2010 having been bought in 2002 for GBP 22m. Lastly in terms of real estate sales associated with NAMA, the sale of the Knightsbridge Estate (3.5 acre commercially developed site also called the Island) for GBP 580m.

(17) a “property in Tallaght” procured by the HSE in Tallaght from the NAMA receiver reported by Irish Medical Times.

** NAMA’s involvement with the reported sale of loans has not been confirmed
Report in (England edition) Sunday Times that Updown Court in Surrey is under offer to an unknown buyer for £35m. It was included in the latest NAMA foreclosed list. The 50000 sq ft house, ‘tacky towers’ in the headline was originally on the market for £75m.
@David, thanks. The loan secured by the property is reported to have been acquired by NAMA for GBP 20m, so if it does sell for GBP 35m, that might yield a tidy profit for NAMA.
The Updown Ct story is now online in the Daily Mail : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2049839/Updown-Court-fetches-just-35m-years-market.html
The foreclosure list, updated to 30/09/11 has been published on the NAMA website.
@David, well spotted! There hasn’t been any NAMA press statement; maybe it’s an inadvertent premature upload!
@NWL – I think that there is a pill available for that!
[…] NAMA property for sale […]
Re Great Victoria Street, Belfast. I think the £7m figure was the price Mervyn Mcalister paid for the 0.27 acre site of a former petrol station to build a 37 storey skyscraper.
Post crash, I imagine Lissan will have paid a lot less to build …………. a petrol station.
No asking price was ever given on the agents particulars : http://www.btwshiells.co.uk/Site/Property.aspx?x=1600

Sorry Could not find original blog posting for above
Leasing options and social housing – its hard to believe that any government body can be this inept – Local government has proved itself inadequate to the task set it since the inception of the state. Even when we had money they made a balls of it. now we have Mr Howlin to sort it all out, and what reform of local government has taken place – cuts jobs, is that reform? I do not think so, and now we see that local government is still tasked with deciding whats suitable as a social home? WHY? Is failure a reason for giving them more power. None of it makes sense. Sad for the Country and the future
There is NO TRANSPARENCY of process in NAMA sales, I tested 5 cases so far, one end up with agents not actually selling properties, they take bids and then … nothing. Why not ? taxpayers 20bn left out of 60bn paid and the 20bn action process/selloff is VERY GRAY – Why ? Please wake up Ireland and demand transparancy
