BRODERICK, C.J. In this action to partition real property, the petitioner, Richard N. Foley, appeals an order of the Rockingham County Probate Court (O’Neill, J.) allowing the respondent, Timothy S. Wheelock, to purchase the subject property after an unsuccessful public auction at a lower price than the court-ordered reserve. Foley also challenges an order requiring him to subsidize Wheelock’s rental of an off-site office during the pendency of the sale. We affirm.
