A River Thames Pier previously used as a passenger ferry terminal in Gravesend, Kent has been entered for sale at Network Auctions’ February 28th auction with a guide price of £55,000 plus.

The Gravesend West Street Pier, being sold on behalf of receivers, offers a very rare and unusual opportunity for buyers. In the words of the auctioneer, Stuart Elliott, “How often can you purchase a pier on the Thames!”

An historical plaque at the site reads: “The Gravesham Ferries. Forming one of South East England’s oldest transport routes – the ‘Long Ferry’, Gravesend to London and the ‘Cross Ferry’ to

A smart, penthouse pad on the canalside in Bilston is one of the star attractions in Bond Wolfe Auctions’ inaugural auction at Villa Park on Wednesday 13th March.



The two bedroomed apartment on the third floor at 21 Loxdale Sidings has an attractive guide price of £19,000 to £24,000.

Ian Tudor, managing director of Bond Wolfe Auctions, said: “This really is an eye-catching property and with such a competitive guide price it’s likely to be one of the popular lots for young business professionals or an investor looking for trendy places to rent out.”

A fire-damaged Grade II farmhouse of ‘historical interest’ is to go under the hammer this month with MARK JENKINSON.

Spout House is thought to date from 1545 with additions in 1678 and a cottage built prior to 1423 as well as a large stone cow shed, all of which are set in a freehold site of approximately 1.30 acres of land.

Adrian Little, Head of the Auction Department at Mark Jenkinson and Son, said: “The Grade II listed house of historical interest on Spout Lane was damaged by a fire in 2016 which tragically led to the deaths of its two elderly residents.

An increasing number of West Midlands local authorities charging Council Tax “empty property premiums” of up to 300% could focus minds on quick sales by auction, Bond Wolfe Auctions has predicted.

Gurpreet Bassi, chief executive of Bond Wolfe Auctions, was speaking after Birmingham, Walsall and Solihull councils all started to take advantage of new laws which will enable them to increase the premiums.

Councils can already charge up to 50% Council Tax premiums on empty properties, but this increases to 100% from April, with 200% premiums for those empty for more than five years 12 months later

If you are the landlord

Yes, that is correct. If you are the landlord of a commercial lease and your tenant has breached a covenant, you do not have the automatic right to re-enter the premises and take physical possession of them.  However, a well drafted lease should include a re-entry provision, in which case you can take the property back.

A forfeiture or ‘a landlord’s right to re-entry’ provision in a lease allows you to bring the lease to an early end and remove from the premises a tenant who does not abide by the terms of the lease, along with their possessions. Having a provision of re

One property that’s likely to draw competitive bidding is two bedroomed, mid-terraced house at 44 Adelaide Street in Brierley Hill, with a guide price* of just £5,000+.

Another home that will catch the eyes

A church in Doncaster that sold for nearly three times guide price and flats in Sheffield that went for the highest bid of the day drove MARK JENKINSON'S busy first auction of the year.

Their £2.4million auction was one of the first sales of the year nationally and the first in the region, with a 'huge response' for the redundant chapel building in Warmsworth, Doncaster, which attracted more than 100 enquiries.

The 1930s brick building and land had a guide price of £75,000 but sold for £204,000, while the top price of the day of £565,000 was for the three-story semi-detached building made up

PROPERTY INVESTORS keen to expand buy-to-let portfolios will be attracted by six flats on the same road in Birmingham at Bond Wolfe Auctions’ inaugural auction at Villa Park on Wednesday 13 March.

The three sets of two self-contained flats in converted Victorian terraced properties are at 19, 21 and 39 Crompton Road in Handsworth, and each lot has a guide price* of £50,000+.

Gurpreet Bassi, chief executive of Bond Wolfe Auctions, said: “To have three similar properties almost neighbouring each other would be a fantastic opportunity for a focused investor as a major buy-to-let opportunity.

One of Birmingham’s historic landmarks will be brought back to life after it goes under the hammer at Bond Wolfe Auctions’ inaugural sale at Villa Park on Wednesday 13 March.



The locally listed former water tower which previously formed part of Selly Oak Hospital has planning permission for conversion into three apartments.

Jonathan Hackett, consultant director at Bond Wolfe Auctions, said: “Selly Oak Hospital’s water tower was built in 1902 as a new entrance to the workhouse, but since the closure of the old hospital it has lain dormant.
