A property in Riddlesden, near Keighley, owned by Bradford Council and depicted in images as having multiple rooms filled with waste, sold for £153,000 at an auction. This price exceeded its £100,000 guide price by over £50,000. The sale was part of an auction event where other council assets were also sold, collectively generating £1m for Bradford Council. The house is a three-bedroom residence located on Scott Road West. The Local Democracy Reporting Service reported that Bradford Council acquired this property last year through a compulsory purchase order. Although the house was described as currently containing “a large amount of rubbish,” its official listing indicated that it had the potential to become “a pleasant family home” following renovation. During the same online auction, conducted by Pugh Properties, another council-owned parcel of land at Flappit Springs, Cullingworth, achieved a sale price 15 times higher than its £5,000 guide price. Additionally, a plot of land on Fell Lane in Keighley, which previously housed the Holme Wood Resource Centre before its demolition, was sold for £626,000. An auction held on Tuesday and Wednesday also saw a mid-terrace house in Bradford’s Manningham area sell for £146,000, significantly above its £65,000 guide price. Overall, the assets sold at the auction generated a total of £1m, which is more than double the £495,000 anticipated from their combined guide prices. The identities of the purchasers were not revealed. The local authority’s broader objective is to generate £100m through the sale of over 150 buildings and land parcels, as part of an effort to achieve financial stability.
