Property AuctionsLand sales bring huge figures for our clients
We have noted that over the past months, more homeowners are choosing auction sales over traditional estate agency. This is definitely a theme from this month's auctions, alongside a large amount of lots focusing on land and plots for a range of uses.
Our property auctions division comprise Pugh & Co, Mark Jenkinson, and SDL Property Auctions, serving the country as committed and dedicated auctioneers.
Former North Toilet Block, Ogston Reservoir, Quarry Lane, Alfreton, Derbyshire, DE55 6FN
One of a pair of disused toilet blocks in the town of Alfreton in Derbyshire, this building excelled in our auctions last month. Both North and South blocks had guide prices of £500 and went well above, with the North block achieving £19000 over its price and the South block eventually securing £27000.
117 and 117a Egerton Road South, Manchester M21 0XN
Situated between residential and commercial properties, the former Lundwood Social Club would be a brilliant opportunity to redevelop the space for community and/or commercial use.
With over 7500 sq.ft. of internal space, there is no limit to what could be achieved. Additionally, there is accommodation to the rear across two floors.
Cobnar Wood Close Industrial Units, Cobnar Wood Close, Sheepbridge, Chesterfield S41 9RQ
Industrial units are a common type of property for our auctioneers, and are at no risk of slowing down.
3 blocks comprising 12 units, ranging from 1,668 to 5,874 sq.ft., return a gross annual income of £158,845 - something reflected in the sale price, nearly £1m over the guide.
Highways End, Otterbourne, Winchester, Hampshire, SO21 2FD
A parcel of land stretching 0.82 acres went under the hammer last month, with huge opportunity to change its use (subject to permissions).
Situated adjacent to residential areas but with great access to the M3, we are looking forward to seeing its development.
The School Lodge, Matson Lane, Gloucester GL4 6DX
In need of significant renovation, a Grade II listed property in a popular part of Gloucester was a surprise hit at September's auction.
Once modernised, this building would be a wonderful family home, benefiting from great schools and amenities nearby.
39 Harris Crescent, Needingworth, St. Ives PE27 4TE
Bungalows continue to be a very prosperous investment, and this semi-detached property in the Peterborough town of St. Ives was a great find at auction for one lucky bidder.
In need of some refurbishment, which was reflected in the final price, there is ample space and opportunity to add some individual style into the building.
14 Almondbury Bank, Huddersfield HD5 8HF
This leasehold property was at auction last month, and was sold for double its guide price.
Terraced houses in this Huddersfield area are always popular, and we were thrilled that the consensus in the auction room was the same.
West View, Main Road, Hirst Courtney, Selby, North Yorkshire, YO8 8QT
The first lot of our auction was a detached property in need of renovation!
Already benefiting from an extension, this building sits on a good-sized plot in a stunning, semi-rural location.
