A VACANT Riddlesden house filled with rubbish has sold for well over its guide price at auction.

The semi-detached property in Scott Lane West was expected to fetch around £100,000 – but sold for £153,000.

Its auction listing said each room in the house was piled high with waste.

The property was amongst four Bradford Council assets which together raised £1 million when they went under the hammer in a Pugh auction.

Land at Fell Lane, Keighley, which was once occupied by the now-demolished Holme Wood Resource Centre, sold for £626,000 ­– almost double its guide price.

And a plot at Flappit Springs, off Halifax Road near Cullingworth, which had a guide price of just £5,000, went for £75,000.

The fourth asset, a vacant terrace property in White Abbey Road, Manningham, had a guide price of £65,000 but sold for £146,000.

No details of buyers have been disclosed.

Cash-strapped Bradford Council is aiming to raise £100m over two years through asset sales.

A report to the council's executive said that so far, £82m of assets had been identified for disposal.

It added: "Estates and Property Services is preparing a significant number of properties to be auctioned in the following months."
