A standout result was a freehold parcel of land at Land off Main Street, Widmerpool, Nottinghamshire (NG12 5PR), guided at £35,000+, which sold for £76,000. The result more than doubled its guide price and demonstrated strong competition for well-positioned land with potential for alternative uses (STP).

Strong competition was also seen for a mixed-use investment at Victoria Road, Netherfield, guided at £195,000+, which sold for £231,000, reflecting continued demand for income-producing assets with future potential (STP).
A number of properties were sold prior to auction following strong pre-auction offers that clients chose to accept, further demonstrating continued demand ahead of auction day.
A notable pre-auction sale was 2 Lee Road, Burton Joyce, Nottingham (NG14 5GP), a guide price £650,000+, an exquisite detached Victorian residence combining period elegance with modern refinement. The property generated strong early interest and was sold prior to auction following an offer accepted by the vendor.
Another pre-auction sale was Holwell Sports & Social Club, 41 Welby Road, Asfordby Hill, Melton Mowbray (LE14 3RD), guided at £125,000+. The property attracted a very strong level of interest during marketing, with multiple parties engaging.
