lincan Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Hello All, Saw in the EDP a few weeks ago that the Pearsons Boat Yard was coming up for auction on the 21st july: Former boatyard, outbuildings and storage, and extensive river frontage and dyke. Guide: £150,000-£180,000. Has anyone heard anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baitrunner Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Wasn't sure what that yard was called. Be interesting to see what they do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincan Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 Sorry boatingman, l meant to thank you for the info. Must have been a bit of interest looking at the difference between the guide price and what it went for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatingman Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Hi Lincan I Thought the guide was a bit low but it did not include the two houses on the site which sold seperatly for about 150k each making an overall price of 540k Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincan Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 Hello Boatingman, That sounds about right, the pictures didn't show any houses. They make a big difference. l can't remember how long ago Pearsons folded, but it would be interesting to know what the property and land would have gone for back then!

Broads01 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Yes their last season hiring was 2000 although I don't know if they carried on any other form of business after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
