LAND in Redruth has sold at auction for well in excess of its freehold guide price.

The square-shaped parcel at the end of Merritts Way in Pool was among 149 lots in the latest sale by Clive Emson Land and Property Auctioneers.

It fetched £12,750, well above its freehold guide of £1,500 plus. Cornwall Council instructed the sale of the land, measuring about 0.04 hectares (0.09 acres).

Auctioneer David Henwood said: “This site drew keen interest before selling at a sum well in excess of its guide.

“It was one of a number of lots placed at auction by Cornwall Council, which has realised a strong return from this asset against its guide.”

The first auction of eight in 2025 by Clive Emson Auctioneers concludes on February 6, with bidding live from 4 February. Lot entries close on January 13, with the catalogue available online from 16 January.
