Uttoxeter Land and Property Auction Report – 23rd October 2024

Bagshaws held their Land and Property Auction at Uttoxeter Racecourse on Wednesday 23rd October 2024 with six lots going under the hammer. The lots ranged from a building plot on the edge of a village, to a two bedroom first floor flat, to amenity pastureland in varying sizes and one lot with a useful range of farm buildings.

A well-attended room greeted those lots on offer with all buyers registering to bid in advance of the sale commencing. Contracts were made available to purchasers before the auction date, which meant any successful purchasers would be able to exchange contracts on the day, with the completion date being set 28 days thereafter.

We report that the sale resulted in a 50% clearance, with three of the six lots offered on the day being sold and some good prices being realised.
The opening lot, the Land and Buildings at Highfields Farm, Upper Tean extending to 2.59 acres, with its useful range of agricultural buildings, had a number of bidders competing to become the successful purchaser, with the price achieved settling at £150,000.

The second lot sold, was a further lot from Highfields Farm, Upper Tean, being 1.95 acres of grassland and woodland copse. Following some spirited bidding the land reached is conclusion at £54,000 (£27,692 per acre).

The final lot sold was Lot 6, 3.11 acres of paddock land near Stonnall, on the edge of Aldridge. This lot was met by competitive bidding from a number of parties, eventually selling for £114,000 (£36,656 per acre).

As always, this auction shows the benefit of the traditional auction system whereby the property is offered on the day and a signature on the contacts is achieved, with a completion 28 days thereafter. If you would like advice on whether your property would be suitable for sale by auction, then please contact our Ashbourne or Bakewell offices, to speak with one of our experts to discuss the matter with you. The next property auction is scheduled for Monday 18th November at Bakewell Market and further Staffordshire Property Auction dates will be released for 2025 in due course.
