The company said on its website: “The property is located in a predominantly residential area of Leeds and features car parking and good road access.

“We believe the property may represent an opportunity for redevelopment or change-of-use, subject to any necessary consents.”

The council previously said it would be too expensive to keep maintaining the building. Disposing off it would save cash and create jobs if it was turned into housing.

A council report said: “Hough Lane Centre is Grade II-listed and so will be costly to keep in a state of good repair.

“It is also a very large site which requires a lot of energy consumption to keep in occupation.”

Pugh Auctions said the building was close to schools, Bramley Park and Bramley library.
