Britannia AuctionsBusiness asset auctions in Nottingham
Nottingham covers a wide spread of work. One sale is a print finishing line off Lenton Lane, the next a wholesaler clearing racking and stock at Colwick. Whatever the reason for the sale, the method is the same. We photograph and catalogue on site, open an online timed auction for a week or two, hold a viewing day and then manage collection.
Sellers who want the site empty sooner can have us collect and sell from our own premises. Single high value machines can be sold by private treaty. Derby, Mansfield and Newark are close enough for a viewing day, and the online catalogue is open to trade buyers across the UK.
Nottingham has a mixed industrial base with logistics, pharmaceuticals, engineering, food and drink and printing firms. The main industrial areas are Lenton Lane along the A52 ring road, Colwick to the east by the River Trent, Blenheim Industrial Estate at Bulwell near junction 26 of the M1, and Bestwood Business Park to the north. Beeston to the south west has engineering and pharmaceutical sites. Fairham Business Park at Clifton is a newer development with manufacturing and warehouse space.
The M1 passes to the west of the city, with junctions 24 to 27 serving different parts of the conurbation. The A52 links the city to Derby and to junction 25, and the A453 runs south west to junction 24 and East Midlands Airport. Nottingham railway station is on the Midland Main Line. The ring road makes it simple to move between the estates, and vehicle access and turning space are checked on site before the catalogue is written.

Guides and questions
- Auction or private treaty: which route to choose
Auction gives you a fixed date and an open market. Private treaty gives you a negotiated price and privacy. This guide sets out when each route suits, what you give up with each, and why many sales use both.
- What insolvency practitioners need from an auctioneer
For office holders realising physical assets. Covers the instruction letter, the asset schedule and valuation basis, retention of title, finance checks, site security, health and safety during the sale, and the reconciliation you need for the file.
- What happens to unsold lots
Not every lot sells, but the site still has to be cleared. This guide covers why lots go unsold, private treaty after the sale, lowering or removing the reserve, a later sale, scrap and WEEE recycling, and what disposal costs.
- What happens to lots nobody buys?
- Do we have to sell everything that is not moving?
- Is there a market for old or high hour machines?
- Will my lots be mixed with other vendors' lots?
