Ward End — what we see on the ground
Around Ward End Hall grounds the auction vehicles we recover in Ward End tend to be on Victorian terraces — narrow approach, parked-both-sides, and the odd height barrier over a service road. We plan the truck route before it leaves the yard.
Common auction callouts we see in Ward End
- Non-runner lot - dead battery / no fuel / mechanical failure
- Missing V5 - collection paperwork covers movement to your address
- Lot listed as driveable but actually isn't - we plan for winch either way
