Miners’ Institute property makes £160k at auction Auctioneers R. Michael Fallowell FRICS of Newton Fallowell achieved 100% success at a recent auction of two redevelopment properties. The bidding was keen on both properties in front of a very well attended auction. Lot 1 – a derelict farmhouse at Donington-le-Heath which was withdrawn at the sale was sold immediately afterwards within the guide price of £325,000 - £375,000 and Lot 2 a re-development site at Main Street, Markfield with planning permission for three terraced houses made £160,000 which was well in excess of the guide price. Auctioneer Mike Fallowell said he was delighted with the result saying it was a sign that properties which go to auction at the right price and are marketed properly will achieve excellent results. He went on to say that it is certainly a sign that the property market is by no means dead. Mike said that as a result of his success he is planning similar auction sales and looking for the right properties for the next sale.

Stanton May Day Fete Report from sally wilkins This year’s fete was opened by the 2011 May Queen Chloe Hauton and her attendants Florence Coleman & Sarah Paget. The girls led the fancy dress procession from the Youth Club at the top of the village to the recreation ground where Chloe cut the ribbon and lead us all onto the field. The weather was kinder than in the previous years, we had sun and wind, the wind keeping us all on our toes with our equipment getting a bit of a bashing. The Winner of the May Day Fancy Dress was Alia Disu, aged four, with a great costume of a “Little Robot”. Continued on page 3
