HMP Wealstun: Ministry of Justice to auction off grassland, garages and freehold land near Leeds prison
Pockets of freehold land next to a Leeds prison are available to purchase at an upcoming auction.
The Ministry of Justice has instructed Bond Wolfe to auction various parcels of freehold land near HMP Wealstun including nine garages, grassland and road verges.
The sale will be livestreamed online on Thursday, February 5.
The land and garages north of HMP Wealstun are located some 2.25 miles east of Wetherby, to the south of Wighill Lane and east of Walton Road.
Gurpreet Bassi, chief executive of Bond Wolfe, said: “The nine garages are of precast concrete with monopitch roofs in various states of repair, some having up and over doors. The three parcels of land, grass land and verges and pavements may be suitable for alternative uses subject to planning permission.
“In addition there are roadside verges, adopted roads, some pavements, an electricity substation and gas governor.”
Mr Bassi pointed out that the land and garages were offered freehold with vacant possession, but subject to the existing tenancies for the gas governor and electricity substation within the land offered.
The garages include No.s 1, 4, 7, 8, 10, 16, 18, 20 in Grange Avenue and one garage, No. 3 in Rudgate Park.
The whole lot is offered with a guide price of £25,000+ but Mr Bassi said offers in excess of the guide price will be considered prior to the auction sale.

The Ministry of Justice instruction is among 180 lots due to appear in Bond Wolfe’s next auction, which will start at 8.30am on Thursday 5 February.
The auction will be livestreamed via Bond Wolfe’s website with remote bidding by proxy, telephone or internet.
