Developers Eye Up May Property Auction

FSS' May property auction in Harrogate has caught the attention of property developers across Yorkshire thanks to a broad range of refurbishment opportunities right across the price spectrum.

From a one bedroom town centre apartment to a riverside character property in Knaresborough with planning permission to create two homes, there is something to suit every taste and budget.

FSS Property’s May auction will be held at Pavilions of Harrogate on Thursday 23rd May at 3pm. Auctioneer Richard Smailes said the variety would attract new investors as well as seasoned property developers.

“It’s a long time since we have such a good selection of development opportunities in the same auction and there is something here for everyone,” said Richard.

“If a potential investor is looking to start their property portfolio or enter the buy-to-let market for the first time, this would be an excellent auction to attend.”

The properties going under the hammer include:

One bedroom flat, Prospect Terrace, Knaresborough, guide price £70,000
