Sounds like modern auction.  There are many posts on this forum discussing modern auction, rather negative.

As far as I can see it's a traditional auction, but with some very odd terms and conditions (unless this is normal and I didn't know that.)

I'm familiar with modern method of auction, having bought a house that was on sale by MMoA, but I refused to buy it by that method.

Surely it can only be a fish pond, but for breeding fish, not really for looking at them?

Still, quite a bit of effort put in to the design and build. Weird.

Are you going for it, Hemmings?

My first thought was a pond, but it doesn't seem to have any water staining. I suppose that a liner could have been removed....

I would have expected a rubber or edpm liner, somthing like that. I wondered whether the black stuff near the top of the 'pond' was the remains of the liner that had been cut away.

Could it be an inspection pit for someone who likes renovating old cars? 

Very unlikely. Too big and how would you drive the car over it and support it? (A ramp and some planky-things would be possible but unnecessarily convoluted and dangerous).

Seems it sold at auction in December but obviously fell through for some reason: https://www.bondwolfe.com/auctions/properties/229228-property-auction-willenhall/

What actually is this thing? This is a genuine question - I don't know what this is.

What is going on that the guide price is £20,000 plus?

According to the blurb it is not what the auctioneer expects the property to sell for, but an indication that the reserve price is not more than 10% above the guide price...   And they may change the guide/reserve up to the time of the auction...

It seems rather odd to call it a guide price if it's something quite different.
