New benchmark for Lincolnshire arable
At its November auction, Lincolnshire firm JHWalter found a new benchmark value for arable land that is hovering around £4500/acre. Results at the mixed property auction, however, also showed that farmland was by far the strongest asset as many of the commercial and residential lots failed to find buyers on the day.

Buy Yourself An Oil Well In £6m Sale
A sale billed as the most valuable auction ever in Lincolnshire includes two oil wells and a reading room. The value of the lots is expected to break through the £6 million barrier if all properties go for the guide price. But the most unusual, the two oil wells and surrounding land at Weston, near Newark, will not attract would-be barons as the sale does not include rights to the black gold.

‘Wildlife fan’ stumps up £20,000 for pair of lakes
SOME goods for sale in shops scream out "buy me". A designer pair of high heels or a shiny red sports car are often irresistible. But what about two large lakes? Well, Bungalow Lake and Lodge Lake, which border Swanholme Lakes nature reserve in Lincoln and cover an area of about 15.5 acres, have been bought at auction for £20,000. Ian Broadley, who is in his late 40s, said the lakes just jumped out at him as he looked through JHWalter's auction brochure.

Covering about 15.5 acres, Bungalow Lake and Lodge Lake, which border Swanholme Lakes nature reserve, are being sold at auction.

‘Quirky’ Clause Over Coach House Sale
The coach house in Lincoln's cathedral quarter is to be auctioned off. With a guide price of £200,000, the building is also subject to an ancient clause that any new house built on the site would have to be worth more than £800. Victorian businessman Robert Swan and Thomas Bourne inserted the clause into its contract when they sold the property to John Battle in 1878. Now a planning application to build a four bedroom house on the grounds of the coach house has been received.

Property Ladder - Lincolnshire Revisited
Sarah Beeny revisits Philip Martinson and Stephen Hodgkinson from the very first series, way back in 2001. Then, they'd just given up secure jobs for a new career in property - but it was much harder than they'd ever imagined. Now it turns out these two have serious talent, but it's not just in developing. Seven years ago, in the first series of Property Ladder, barrister Stephen Hodgkinson and make up artist Philip Martinson swapped the high life in London for a wreck of a barn in rural Lincolnshire. They'd forked out £55,000 on a shell - a former dairy, 30 minutes drive from the city of Lincoln. Despite a severe lack of relevant experience, they planned to turn it into a luxury family home.
