Business asset auctions in Leeds
We run auctions and private treaty sales for businesses in Leeds, West Yorkshire, and the towns around it including Bradford, Wakefield, Huddersfield, Halifax, Harrogate, Castleford, Dewsbury, York. Sales are catalogued and held on your premises, or we collect the assets and sell them from our own premises when that suits better. Bidding is online and open to trade buyers across the UK.
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, and access for articulated lorries is good.

Guides and questions
- Preparing machinery and equipment for sale
What to do in the days before viewing so machines fetch what they should. Isolate and make safe, clean but do not repaint, find the tooling and manuals, sort out access, and avoid the mistakes that cost sellers money.
- 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?
