Eddisons’ December auction breaks £60m barrier

The Yorkshire chartered surveying firm Eddisons has announced total proceeds of over £60m from its 2013 auctions, following the completion of its three-day December sale.

Highlights of the December sale included a part-tenanted investment property in the Beeston area of Leeds which sold for more than £100,000 above the advertised guide price.

The detached property on Fairfax Road which had been guided at £180,000 to £200,000, finally sold for £316,000. It is arranged as 12 self-contained flats currently producing income of £30,000 per annum.

Meanwhile, a freehold retail and residential investment in the Whingate area of Leeds let to One Stop Stores, a subsidiary of Tesco plc, producing income of £35,200 per annum, sold for £400,000.

Elsewhere, a former water tower on the Great North Road in Bawtry, near Doncaster, sold for well in excess of the advertised guide price. The building, which had been offered at a guide of just £2,000 plus on the instructions of Yorkshire Water, sold for £30,500.

Finally buyers had to spend more than a penny to purchase a former public toilet in Morley, near Huddersfield, highlighted in Bdaily earlier this year. The single storey building, which has change of use consent for A1 retail, sold for £37,500 off a guide of £20,000 plus.

Eddisons is currently inviting instructions for its first three-day sale of 2014 which takes place in London on February 18, Leeds on February 20 and Manchester on February 25.
