A warehouse used by iconic rock bank Iron Maiden has been sold by Auction House London at its 12 February sale.
The commercial property in Royston, Hertfordshire, was used by the band to store costumes and music equipment while touring in the UK. The warehouse in Jarman Way started the day with a guide price of £70,000 but sold for more than double that figure at £167,500.
Andrew Binstock, director and auctioneer at Auction House London, said: “We had an incredible turnout to this particular auction and it was possibly one of our busiest salerooms ever. There were several outstanding results, with buyers fighting hard for a number of properties.
“Prices at auction are continuing to drop, which in turn is attracting more serious buyers. This is reflected by the fact that three-quarters of the lots listed in this auction went on to sell, raising a total of more than £13.5m.”
Auction House London’s next sale will take place on 26 March at the London Marriott Regents Park, NW3.
