Property auctions are fabulous hunting grounds for the sheer variety of property they offer. Here’s 7 alternative property investments which will soon be sold under the hammer:
1. E.T Phone Home…
Guide: £45,000
Every home should have their own telecoms mast – especially when it’s producing £7021.46 per year.
For more info: Network auctions
2. Fill Me Up, Bill
Guide: £225,000
A petrol station, convenience store AND a vehicle repair workshop. Life could not get any better. But it does: currently rented for £30,000 per year.
For more info: CPBigwood
3. Tie Me Down, Knot Me Up – But Don’t Forget To Pay!
Guide: £5,000
It may be derelict and overgrown, but who can resist a canal-side redevelopment opportunity of this Former Gauging Stop and Toll House.
For more info: CPBigwood
4. I’m NOT Dead Let Me Outta Here
Guide: £20-25,000
Worth it for the comedy value: A former Cemetery Depot located on Mortuary Road!
For more info: Pugh
5. Wipe That Smile Off Your (Coal) Face
Guide: £60-80,000
Disused and dilapidated, and that’s just the building. But where there’s a will, there could be a way to make a goldmine from the former Welbeck Colliery Miners Institute.

6. C’Mon Love, Get All Your Fresh Fruit Here
Guide: £115,000
Perfect rave venue. If it were still the 90s. Fortunately this Old Market Hall has got planning for 9 flats.

7. Doctor, Doctor I Feel Like Buying A Surgery…
Guide: £115,000
Here take the Kusum Medical Centre I’m buying a boat.

The idea of a canal-side plot really appeals to me! Saw some beautiful canal-side homes in Amsterdam – gorgeous!

Great list, the canal side building looks lovely but it’ll end up going for way more than £5000.
All these puns are reminding me of homes under the hammer haha

Well I’ll take that as a compliment given HUTH are now in their 11th year! 🙂
