1 Havelock Street in Broomhall was included within Mark Jenkinson & Son’s April auction. The auctioneers had made clear they could not offer any prospective buyers internal viewings of the property due to “safety reasons”, but that did not limit its chances at auction as it sold for a whopping £201,500.
Figtree Sandwich Bar sells for over £50,000 more than predicted
Another auction lot was the site of the popular Figtree Sandwich Bar, which had a guide price of £90,000. The property sold for an amazing £142,000.
The property’s future is up in the air at current, with Mark Jenkinson & Son advert noting on the potential to continue as a cafe or to be turned into a small city centre house. The lot did come with planning permission for a small one-bed home, so that option is absolutely on the table.
We’ll have to wait and see what the new owner decides to do. Until then, you can find more information on Mark Jenkinson & Son’s next auction in May 2023 on their website.
