Business asset auctions in Milton Keynes
We run auctions and private treaty sales for businesses in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, and the towns around it including Newport Pagnell, Bedford, Northampton, Buckingham, Leighton Buzzard, Aylesbury, Luton. 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.
Milton Keynes has a large stock of modern industrial and warehouse space. National distributors, parcel carriers and retail supply chains occupy the bigger sheds at Magna Park, Tongwell and Mount Farm. Automotive and motorsport firms have a strong presence, with engineering, electronics and technology businesses on Knowlhill, Kingston and Wolverton Mill. Bletchley has older estates with a mix of trade, vehicle repair and light manufacturing units.
The M1 runs along the east side of the city, with junctions 13 and 14 serving most of the industrial areas. The A5 and A421 connect to Bedford, Buckingham and the A43. Milton Keynes Central station is on the West Coast Main Line. The grid road system means articulated lorries can reach almost every estate from the motorway without passing through housing, and yards on the larger parks are set up for regular HGV movements.

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.
- Do staff and customers need to know before the sale is advertised?
- Who takes the machines out?
- Who moves the plant after the sale?
- Is it worth selling a single item at auction?
