Britannia AuctionsBusiness asset auctions in Leeds
When a printer in Hunslet or a metal processor at Stourton decides it is time to stop, the question is usually how to get a fair price for the plant before the lease runs out. Our answer is an online timed auction, catalogued at the premises, with a viewing day and a collection window that fits the date the keys go back. Smaller lots can be brought to our own premises and sold with other stock.
Leeds sits well for a viewing day. Bradford, Wakefield and Huddersfield are all a short drive, and bidding is online and open to buyers anywhere in the UK. Private treaty is available for a single machine or vehicle that deserves its own negotiation.
Leeds has an industrial belt south and east of the city centre. Hunslet, Stourton and Cross Green have light manufacturing, metal processing, food production, trade counters and distribution sheds, and Kirkstall has an industrial park off the A65 to the north west. Leeds Valley Park near the M621 and M1 is used by larger logistics operators, and Thorpe Park to the east has newer industrial and warehouse units. Printing, packaging, engineering and construction firms are found across the city.
The M621 loops through the south of the city and connects to the M1 at junction 43 and the M62 at junction 27. The M1 continues north to join the A1(M) near Wetherby. Leeds railway station has direct services to London, Manchester and Edinburgh. Most of the southern estates are within a few minutes of a motorway junction, though yard space and loading facilities still differ from unit to unit.

Guides and questions
- Preparing machinery and equipment for sale
What to do before viewing day. Keep the machines that can be run safely available to demonstrate, isolate the rest, clean but do not repaint, find the tooling and manuals, and sort out access for removal.
- How used machinery is valued
Buyers pay for what a machine will do for them, less what it costs to get it out and running. This guide explains how make, hours, tooling, demand and removal cost feed a guide price, and why that price is not book value.
- What if some of the equipment is on finance?
- What happens to items on finance or lease?
- Can you sell vehicles that still have finance on them?
- Do I have to deliver the items to you?
