Uttoxeter Land and Property Auction – August 2023

Bagshaws ran their Property Auction at Uttoxeter Racecourse on Wednesday 9th August with six lots going under the hammer, ranging from 1.6 acres of land on the outskirts of a village, up to a 13.97 acre smallholding at Belper, with a temporary mobile home and planning consent for range for farm buildings, as well as a detached stone property in need of modernisation, with pastureland and buildings, in over 4 acres.

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

Following competitive bidding, successful sales were achieved on three lots, with the other three entered unfortunately not meeting their reserve prices. The opening lot of 1.6 acres of land at Corner field, Dalley Lane, Belper Lane End, attracted spirited bidding and achieved £82,000 (£51,250 per acre). Lot 3, Weir Meadow, Baswich Lane, Stafford, which comprised 3.10 acres of pastureland adjoining River Sow sold for £31,000 (£10,000 per acre). Next Lot 4, another small parcel of pastureland of 2.44 acres at Lower Lane, Chorley, Lichfield, attracted interest and bids from a number of parties, eventually reaching its conclusion, selling for £78,000 (£31,967 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 contracts is achieved with a completion 28 days thereafter. If you would like advice on whether your property would be suitable for an auction, then please contact your local office or one of our experts to discuss the matter with you.

The next property auction is scheduled for Monday 25th September at Bakewell Market.

The Auctioneer for the day was Malcolm Gale.

Uttoxeter Land and Property Auction-May 2023

 

Uttoxeter Property Auction Report – 10th May 2023

 

Bagshaws ran their Property Auction at Uttoxeter Racecourse on Wednesday 10th May with seven lots going under the hammer, ranging from a paddock of 2.9 acres, up to a farmhouse, buildings and land extending to 19 acres, as well as a further block of arable land of 67 acres.

A full room greeted those lots on offer, with all buyers registering to bid in advance of the sale commencing. With contracts being available to purchasers before the auction date, it meant that any successful purchasers would be able to exchange contracts on the day, with the completion date being set 28 days thereafter. We are delighted to announce that the sale resulted in a 100% clearance, with all lots being sold and some good prices being realised across the board. Green Farm at Chatcull, near Eccleshall, extending to 19 acres and having a three bedroom dwelling in need of modernisation along with a number of farm buildings, had a number of bidders competing to become the successful purchaser, which pushed the price to £710,000. The remaining six lots were then all pieces of land ranging from Elmhurst in Staffordshire to Breadsall outside of Derby, with the latter 23.3 acres at Breadsall finishing the bidding at £355,000 (£15,236 per acre), for an area of land just on the village edge. Spirited bidding was also in evidence for the 6.2 acres of grassland lying between Stretton and Rolleston on Dove, which was finally purchased at £88,000 (£14,194 per acre). However, top call of the day for the rate per acre was for the final lot sold. 2.9 acres at Elmhurst realised £78,000 (£26,897 per acre), with the adjoining 3.89 acres realising £75,000 and the larger block of just over 67 acres realising £800,000. There was also an area of 25.36 acres of pastureland at Footherley, near Lichfield, which had a number of brook courses and ditches dividing its four field parcels, with some of its area wet lying, which resulted in a purchase price of £175,000.

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 your local office or one of our experts to discuss the matter with you.

The next property auction is scheduled for Monday 22nd May at Bakewell Market and the next Uttoxeter Property Auction is scheduled for Wednesday 9th August again at Uttoxeter Racecourse.

The Auctioneer for the day was Malcolm Gale.

Uttoxeter Land and Property Auction – July 2022

 

 

The July property sale at Uttoxeter managed to coincide with a drop in the temperature to a more bearable level but with a good number of people in the sale room the temperature soon rose. That was certainly the case for the 2.54 acres of land off Nabb Lane in Alton which scorched away to £96,000 (£37,795/a) with a number of bidders hoping to end up with the ground but only one lucky buyer! Crowfoot Farm near Church Broughton with 8.53 acres of land and in need of refurbishment, again found good interest and was secured by the final bidder for £530,000 which was towards the top end of the guide price. Unfortunately the two paddocks off Gravelly Lane in Stonnall failed to find a buyer under the hammer but have received interest after the sale but as yet are still available.

 

Remember, that when selling by auction, after successful bids there is an exchange of contracts on that day and completion usually 28 days thereafter as well as a 10% deposit taken on the day of the sale, so you know that you’ve sold! Let us know if you have a property that you would like an appraisal on and we will let you know whether auction will suit but if not, then we also sell property by Private Treaty and Tender so we cover all the ways that you need.

Uttoxeter Land and Property Auction – May 2022

Wednesday the 25th of May saw the Bagshaws Uttoxeter Property Auction take place at Uttoxeter Racecourse.

 

 

There was a full room of interested parties for the properties available and it resulted in a 100% clearance. There were originally five lots consigned but with one of those selling before auction, 5.98 acres off Oldfields Lane Snelston, the remaining four received strong bidding from the thirty bidders that had registered for the day.

  • Commercial barns at Doveridge (ex agricultural buildings) £189,000
  • Sweet Meadow Farm, Dagdale (barn conversion) £340,000
  • 28.02 acres off Sides Lane at Snelston £270,000 (£9,636/a)
  • 4.91 acres off Sides Lane at Snelston £85,000 (£17,311/a)

 

This goes to show that with the current strength in the property market, if the individual property suits a sale by auction then the results are there to be seen both at Uttoxeter and the Bakewell sale on Monday.

Please contact your local office if you feel that you have such a property and we would be pleased to advise you.
