Sold at auction: December 2025

Over 20,000 sq.ft. of retail space went under the hammer this month. Previously inhabited by the Bratts department store, the property spans three floors and has potential for redevelopment - with a planning application already in place.

With great neighbours in Holland & Barrett and Vision Express, another retail opportunity would be best in this spot. However, we have seen numerous change-of-use renovations in buildings like this across the year.

The premises of an historic mill have been sold for three times its guide price.

St. Ann's Mill in Leeds comprises the derelict and vacant mill, associated yard, hard-standing and surrounding woodland. A rare opportunity for developers, the surrounding infrastructure is primarily suited to commercial outfits. But the opportunities are endless for this substantial, freehold, and vacant brownfield site located just 2.5 miles from Leeds city centre.

A freehold site of 12 garage plots, currently earning £825 a year, sold for £142,000 this month.

Situated to the west of Barnsley centre, there is opportunity for residential development (subject to appropriate consent), or redeveloping the already existing garages.

We were able to secure over £250,000 for Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council through the sale of a former day care centre in Wombwell.

The ground-floor building totals in at 2,582 sq. ft. and includes a large open-plan space with meeting rooms, a kitchen and office, as well as WCs.

A variety of uses could be realised in this spot, and we wish the developers every success.

Dormer bungalows are a brilliant option for young or downsizing families. This opportunity in Leicester needs some improvement but has a promising garden, private parking and a garage - strong features for a residential investment.

Another benefit of this Syston property is that the bungalow is offered with vacant possession, fantastic for our successful bidder.

We were able to secure £136,000 for the sale of our two-bedroom apartment in Newcastle upon Tyne.

The ground-floor premises comprises a hallway, lounge, kitchen, two bedrooms and a family bathroom, and is close to the city centre. The flat is partially-renovated, and was well received at auction, going £60,000 over.

Based in the Thorpe conservation area, a former public convenience was sold at auction this month.

Complete with a lawned area with trees, the building itself is an attractive stone structure with a pitched roof. The property could be converted into a number of different uses, especially as it is in such an opportune area - at the foot of Thorpe Cloud and approximately 3.5 miles north west of Ashbourne.

As it is part of a conservation area, the successful bidder will need to make their own enquiries before development.

Just a short drive from Preston City Centre, excellent area for primary and secondary schools, shops, local amenities and The Riverside Docks. Fantastic travel links via the nearby train station and M6 motorway.

Close to Preston centre, 35 Arkwright Road is a two-bedroom property and is an ideal investment for a new developer.

Consisting of a lounge, kitchen, two bedrooms and a family bathroom, its vacant possession adds to the allure of this mid-terrace. Factor in the close proximity to local amenities, schools and shops, and this is a hidden gem!

Although in need of renovation, this two-bedroom house has good transport links and has a great range of facilities including schools.

There is a strong foundation here, with a large rear garden, garage and downstairs WC.

This sale was secured after the auction for an undisclosed fee.

With the picturesque Hughenden National Trust Country Estate close by, this stunning house in Hazlemere was an amazing find in this month's auction.

The three-bedroomed property also has three reception rooms and three bathrooms. A sweeping driveway finishes off this incredible home.

Needing some renovation, this is a fantastic find and the guide price reflected the selling price, with it going under the hammer for £50,000 more than expected.
