The site of a former motor dealership in Doncaster has been sold in weeks for close to the asking price of £2.25 million.
Watling Real Estate and commercial property agents Rapleys were appointed to sell the former premises of Hayselden, the Doncaster Volkswagen and Skoda dealer, by joint administrators Mark Hodgett and David Acland of FRP Advisory.
The business went into administration in December 2025.
Alex Sweetman, director in the Leeds office of Watling, said: “The site on North Bridge Road, Doncaster, attracted a lot of attention and has been sold to a private investor.
“The land is designated for employment, so there is an opportunity to repurpose it for other commercial uses, provided the end result will generate jobs.”
The 2.63 Marshgate site offers almost 25,000 sq ft of commercial space and is currently configured as a purpose-built motor dealership complex with a large, surfaced yard with a communal central area with 295 parking spaces.
Hayselden was established in 1959 and at one time had four dealerships in Doncaster and Barnsley.
The administrators were advised by law firm Womble Bond Dickinson and Newton Solicitors in Wakefield acted for the buyer.
