An accessway behind a busy main road in Swindon has sold for just £1.
The plot of land runs at the rear of Wootton Bassett Road across several properties, garages and parking spaces.
Auction house Strakers listed the lot for sale in the October catalogue, with a guide price of £1 plus fees.
The listing reads: “The lane runs along the rear of the properties from no35 to no52.
“There are numerous garages and parking areas off. The stretch of lane is shown edged red on the attached plan and is about 105m long.”
The legal pack shows there is no site history for planning permission applications and although the land has been sold for £1, the buyer’s fee payable to Strakers is £600 including VAT on any lots purchased at or below £99,999.
It is unclear what the new buyer will be able to do with the small plot of land.
