A COUNCIL-owned house that “contains a large amount of rubbish” has gone to auction with a guide price of £100,000.

Bradford Council purchased 68 Scott Lane West in Riddlesden via a compulsory purchase order last year.

And now the three-bedroom property has gone under the hammer at an online auction by Pugh Properties.

The listing describes the house as: “A renovation project comprising a semi-detached dwelling sold with vacant possession and requiring a full scheme of renovation. The property is sold as seen and contains a large amount of rubbish.”

It says the property is in a “sought-after location” adding “once renovated, the property would make a pleasant family home.”

In recent years Bradford Council has purchased numerous properties to sell at auction in an attempt to bring long-empty, privately-owned houses back into use.

The online auction began yesterday (November 5) and ends today.
