Allsop, the leading property consultancy and the UK’s largest property auction house, has released its largest September commercial auction catalogue since 2022, featuring 185 lots ranging in size from £5,000 to £3m+.

In Sheffield, the Grade II listed former headquarters of the Sheffield Telegraph and Star is being offered with a guide price of £2.25m+ and comprises a supermarket, three shops and offices above, together with eight flats let on long leases.

As with previous auctions, a significant proportion of lots (77) are located in London and the South East.
