Former lap-dancing club goes up for auction

Britannia House, on York Place, in Leeds city centre,

extends to nearly 18,000 sq ft and is described by auctioneers Eddisons as having potential for a variety of uses, subject to the necessary consents.

The premises formerly included the Direktor's Club and were used in conjunction with a lap-dancing club. They are being sold on behalf of the LPA receivers at a guide price of 700,000-plus.

A total of 79 lots are scheduled to come under the hammer at the final Eddisons' auction of the year, including a number on behalf of the LPA receivers.

Tony Webber, of Eddisons, said: "The December sale is popular among buyers as vendors are keen to dispose of unwanted stock, which means there is always the chance to pick up a real bargain."

The sale is taking place at Leeds United Football Club, Elland Road, in Leeds, on Thursday, December 9, starting at noon.
