A TWO-DAY sale of property in West Yorkshire generated proceeds exceeding £6.88m.

Property auctioneer Eddisons, which has offices in Huddersfield, said 101 of the 144 lots offered at the sale in Leeds and Manchester found buyers, which represents a 70% success.

Tony Webber, of Eddisons, said: “Many lots attracted multiple bids as local buyers reacted positively to a range of investment opportunities.”

Among the successful lots was a freehold ground rent investment secured on a purpose-built development of 40 apartments in Lindley.

The current ground rents at The Gate on Halifax Road generate annual income of £6,000 and were bought for £75,000.

Residential stock included two properties on Occupation Lane, Dewsbury, which sold for £53,000 and £55,000.
