Whilst it's raining outside, why not check out my weekend auction property hot picks?

The first one I've got for you completely drew me in at first glance, and won me over completely as soon as my eyes moved across to the image of the interior. This Dorset delight has stunning original features, from the fabulous fireplace, to the pretty windows that let in so much light and brightness that it's even able to balance with those wonderful dark beams.

It looks to be an ideal opportunity for investment, or equally for the owner occupier seeking a perfect project property. Yes, some modernisation

Romans’ third property auction of the year later this month, features an 11 bedroom former care home, four highly sought-after bungalows and 16 other properties from across Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire, and Oxfordshire.

One of the bungalows is on Medstead Road in Beech, near Alton.

The two bedroom property occupies grounds approaching one acre and is located in a secluded and elevated position. Simon says: “With a guide of £500,000 this is a fantastic opportunity to buy a property that with some modernisation could make a beautiful family home.”

A vacant ground floor retail unit in Leeds city centre sold for £208,000 having been offered at a guide price of £140,000.

First one's a rather nice 3 bed for modernisation in wonderful Wiltshire. Lots of extras with this one... a large barn/workshop, an annex, parking, garage, garden... you're getting a lot for your money with this one

 

This quirky lot really caught my eye... not often your amenity land comes with its own feature lake with bridge! Possibility of use as a fishing lake perhaps? Also perhaps suitable for conservation use...so, if you're looking in Wiltshire, then this half acre could make an interesting conservation project.

 

Pink house anyone? This one is a Grade II listed property in need of

So, whilst lazing in the garden this weekend, I've been perusing our database and have some awesome hot picks for you!

The first one I've got for you today is a piece of history in Hull. This former theatre was bombed and part destroyed during the Blitz in 1941! It's been in a ruined state ever since, and the building is Grade II listed, ensuring that the iconic facade remains when this one gets a new lease of life. Clearly one for redevelopment, at present it has not got planning granted yet, but there has been planning

Entered into the Belfast auction with BRG Gibson Auctions on June 16, the house in Eglinton belonging to former EuroMillions winner Ryan Magee is expected to fetch about £400,000.

It's described as every family's dream home with five bedrooms, three reception rooms, a swimming pool, a hot tub and even a Champagne bar.

Firstly, check out these three fabby 2 bed apartments in award winning contemporary development in Cornwall. Each comes with not just a parking space in the secure basement car park, but also there is a surfboard locker with each apartment... am guessing there’s some decent waves to be had at the local beaches in the area... so this one’s perfect for investment, or owner
