Cavendish House, a derelict former office block in Dudley that was set to be demolished and replaced with a supermarket complex, will now go under the hammer after the owners, Cavendish Quarter Properties Limited, called time on the project as "the supermarket world is not what it once was".

It is the latest twist in the long-running saga over the future of the derelict building which has been the subject of discussions for a number of years

A surge in the popularity of auctions has seen property sales exceed £10 million for one regional company in the last year.

It says the total value of the sales was £10,874,633, with an average sale

Sutton Kersh's September auction saw yet another record turnout, with more than 200 people attending, and over 70% of the lots sold so far.

First one under the hammer we have for today is a very unique and quirky opportunity in Leicestershire. Ever fancied owning your own island? Well here is your chance to do just that! But before your imaginations go a little too far and begin picturing the big fancy kind of tropical island that famous folks like Richard Branson own, I shall again remind you that it is in Leicestershire and therefore a little more modest in scale and potential.

Developers will be able to bid for Old House in Brentwood at auction later this year, when it is due to go under the hammer with a reserve price of £700,000.

Estate agents Savills will hold the auction at the The Marriott Hotel, in Grosvenor Square, London, on November 2.

The purchaser need not stick to this planning stipulation, but any other use would have to be applied for via the borough council.

Leading Home Counties land broker Aston Mead has warned that a recent High Court ruling lessens the likelihood of the UK ever hitting its house building targets. Following a legal challenge by Reading Borough Council and West Berkshire District Council, the ruling by Justice David Holgate forced ministers to scrap guidance which excluded developments of 10 homes or fewer from the requirement to provide or contribute to affordable housing provision.
