Former Shrewsbury bank to go under the hammer
A former Shrewsbury bank, which closed last year, is up for sale at an auction later this month.
The Lloyds Bank building on Mount Pleasant Road is included at Bond Wolfe’s next auction with bids set to start from £150,000.
The branch was closed among 60 nationwide in the wake of another round of closures announced by Lloyds Banking Group a year ago.
Ian Tudor, Commercial Auction Director at Bond Wolfe, said: “These vacant freehold premises stand within a parade of similar properties in a well-established residential area.
“They are considered suitable for a variety of alternative uses, subject to obtaining any necessary planning permission.
“As a result, we are expecting considerable interest from investors, developers and retailers from around the country at our upcoming live streamed auction. We are regularly attracting more than 20,000 people logging on to watch or take part at these events.”
Mr Tudor added: “These Lloyds Bank premises are prominently positioned at the end of a small neighbourhood parade of two storey brick-built units.
“On the ground floor there is the former banking area with ancillary meeting and staff areas, with additional office accommodation, kitchen and WCs on the upper floor. There is on-street car parking immediately to the front of the parade.”
The former Shrewsbury bank is among 184 lots appearing in Bond Wolfe’s next auction which is due to start at 9am on Thursday 18 May.
