I wasn't sure of the typical consistency of heating oil either, but apparently for commercial installations it is diesel, and domestic ones use kerosene (I suppose you could call it "jet engine central heating" if you wanted it to sound more exciting).

It had already dropped about 100k before being listed at auction.

Here you go

7 Apr 2022	Unavailable	->	£325,000
3 Apr 2022	£395,000	->	Unavailable
13 Sep 2021	£440,000	->	£395,000
22 Nov 2018	First seen	->	£440,000

That implies that someone made (and had accepted) an offer, but something scared a surveyor.

You don't just drop £70k overnight.

I'm going to guess non-standard construction which virtually eliminates anyone wanting a mortgage.

I'm rather liking the blue bathroom units.

So would that have been red diesel and now you'd have to rip it all out and start again because you probably won't be able to use red diesel anymore?

I suspect the whole site is going to be flattened, so the type of heating system isn't going to be of great concern!

It's a standard auction tactic to lower the guide price, so as to drum up interest. I'm surprised that they didn't lower it more, to be frank.

It's up to the seller to set the reserve near the date of the auction, and for all you know it could be £400k.

I suspect you are correct. I hope whoever buys it just builds one replacement family-sized home though and doesn't chop it up into a few plots to build more lego- style houses with tiny gardens...

Completely agree, but it's unusual to remove it from the market for 4 days.
