A string of car parks owned by Birmingham City Council has been sold as the beleaguered local authority continues to offload its assets.
The disposals raised more than £800,000 for the cash-strapped authority and follow the recent deal earlier this year and were brought to market last year.
The auction, hosted by CPBigwood and filmed for BBC show Homes under the Hammer, saw a site in Bath Street, Newtown, go for £280,000, more than double the guide price of £125,000.
Two others in the Newton district, in Smith Street and Ward Street, and a car park in Northwood Street, were collectively sold for £595,000 - £420,000 above the guide price.
A small parcel of land in St James Road, Handsworth, which comprises a derelict garage and car parking space, sold for £46,000 off a guide of £5,000.
In total, the council sold 80 per cent of the lots it was offering at the auction including all of its car parks.
CPBigwood partner and head of auctions Jonathan Hackett said: "CPBigwood's first 2015 auction sale was a huge success with 118 lots offered and 96 sold, giving a percentage of 82 per cent.
"Our total sale was just under £13 million and we hope to break the barrier with post auction deals.
"There was huge pre-auction interest in most of the lots - we had more than 3,000 viewings of the vacant residential ones."
Bilston Town FC's ground with a guide price of £120,000 but was withdrawn prior to the auction following planning complications.
