AT THE moment there are more than 50 properties listed for sale by auction in Bristol and the surrounding area.

These include large buildings split into flats which are aimed at investors, plots with planning permission, commercial units and offices, and homes that need modernisation.

They range from a garage in Redland up for £4,000, a two-up two-down cottage in Kingswood with a guide price of £100,000, to a collection of barns in Keynsham priced from £275,000 and on to a 10-room, four-storey period building in Clifton that is offered for a guide price of £900,000.

There are also two former chapels on the market, one in Old Market, Bristol, and the other in the village of Easter Compton.

There is a website showing each property listed, with pictures, prices and the level of income expected (in the case of blocks of flats).

The site, www.eigroup.co.uk (the Essential Information Group), contains information from many auctioneers across the city, but you need to subscribe to gain access to their contact information and full sale details.
