Beating those holiday blues with some great sales!
With summer well and truly over, we've been keeping ourselves busy with our auctions. It's been the usual bag of unusual lots, stretching across the country.
Our property auctions division comprise Pugh & Co, Mark Jenkinson, and SDL Property Auctions, serving the country as committed and dedicated auctioneers.
Across September, we were able to shift 189 lots, making £33m in sales.
207 Cutler Heights Lane, Bradford, West Yorkshire, BD4 9JB
One of the nicest commercial buildings we've seen in a while, this charming detached property currently receives £14,000 a year in rent.
A perfect spot for a business connected to the nearby industrial sector, this could also be converted back into a residential house.
With a reserve of £100,000, 207 Cutler Heights Lane was finally sold for £237,000.
Nuclear Bunker, Land East Of Longridge Lane, Wormhill Near Buxton, Derbyshire SK17 8AE
Originally used by the Royal Observers Corp, this nuclear bunker dates back to the 1950s, as one of 1500 that were built in preparation for a nuclear attack.
Nowadays, many of them have been sold to telecommunications providers to host phone masts. However, this one in the beautiful area of Wormhill has been saved for a lucky buyer.
The room is in its original condition, with refurbished decoration including wall to wall velvet curtains, a cream carpet, a made bed, and a wood burning stove to add a bit of comfort!
This bunker (one of a couple we have auctioned) was sold for over twice its reserve, and we can't wait to see what is in its future.
Adjacent To 12 Ashley Lane, Killamarsh, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, S21 1AB
The shell of a house would strike fear into most people, but what a lovely shell this is!
A clever builder or savvy developer could turn this house in southwest Sheffield into a stunning family home.
The building is able to host five bedrooms, but is water-tight so there is no rush to finalise those floorplans.
On the day, this fantastic opportunity sold at auction for £170,000 - a fair price for your dream home!
Cheadle Market High Street, Stoke-On-Trent, Staffordshire, ST10 1AJ
One of the more high-profile properties on our roster, we were able to secure a sale of the town of Cheadle's marketplace.
Cheadle was granted a market charter in 1521, so the market has a high importance to the town. The property itself is a red-brick building, with the possibility for 30+ stalls at any one time.
The businesses inside and around the market themselves are thriving, so it will be an exciting freehold to own and manage for our successful buyer.
24-26 Ormskirk Street, St. Helens, Merseyside, WA10 1BJ
We were thrilled to see this former bank smash our expectations!
The original features and multiple opportunities to convert made this property a highly sought after lot, and so was guided at a reasonable £225,000.
However, interest was high and we ended up securing £150,000 over the estimation.
