The office spaces at 612 and 614 Dean Street include Albury MP Justin Clancy's workplace, which sits alongside DMG Advice.
A vacant office on the upper level of the building was also part of the purchase.
Auctioneer Andrew Dixon, of LJ Colquhoun Dixon Real Estate, placed a vendor bid of $1.4 million to start the auction, which was was followed by an offer of $1.425 million.
No further bids were taken and the property was passed in before it was purchased for $1.5 million after a short negotiation with the owners.
"It was a local buyer and I think it was a good result for buyer and seller," Mr Dixon said.
