A number of council owned properties are set to go under the hammer next month.
Birmingham City Council will sell six very varied lots at the Bond Wolfe auction - from a Jewellery Quarter Grade II factory building to a former nursery in its next sale on Thursday 13 July.
Ron Darlington, consultant director of Bond Wolfe, said: “We are pleased to have been asked to sell what is an interesting selection of properties across the city that can be brought back into use and so provide new accommodation whether for families or businesses.
“Maximising the existing stock available through the auction route is a swift way of bringing these properties back into gainful use.”
The former factory and five other properties being sold on behalf of Birmingham City Council are just some of the lots appearing in Bond Wolfe’s auction which is due to start at 9am, on Thursday 13 July.
The auction will be livestreamed via Bond Wolfe’s website with remote bidding by proxy, telephone or internet.
Now, let’s take a look at the properties which are set to be on offer at the auction

1. 118 Wenlock Road, Aston
Homes for sale include 118 Wenlock Road, Aston, a vacant, long leasehold, Victorian two bedroom end terraced property offered with a guide price* of £125,000+. The property comes with no fittings in either the kitchen or bathroom, providing the winning bidder with the chance to put their own stamp on the finished product after a refurbishment programme. A new 125 year lease comes with the condition that the purchaser will be required to bring the property back into beneficial use as a single dwelling within 24 months of purchase. | Bond Wolfe

2. 11 Cadbury Road, Moseley
For those seeking something larger, 11 Cadbury Road, Moseley, is a four bedroom, semi-detached house which is in need of full renovation and modernisation, and has a guide price of £225,000+. This also comes with a new 125 year lease and the winning bidder will have 18 months in which to bring it back into beneficial use. | Bond Wolfe

3. Jewellery Quarter factory, Vittoria Street,
Perhaps the keenest interest will in an impressive Grade II-listed former factory dating back to 1870 that sits in Birmingham’s popular Jewellery Quarter. The property at 85-87 Vittoria Street, has a guide price* of £350,000+, and has most recently been used as a training centre and offices, but has the potential for many other uses, subject to planning permission. It has round headed windows and an arched wagon entrance, typical of the period and these are just some of the unaltered features that Historic England noted in its listing. | Bond Wolfe

4. Pineapple Road, Stirchley
Another property with 18 months to renovate and modernise it, is 155 Pineapple Road, Stirchley, a two bedroom, semi-detached house with a guide price of £170,000+. This property is also subject to a new 125 year lease on completion. | Google
