£6,000 HOUSE SOLD FOR £7
ONCE HOME OF LORD TRENT. LONDON, June 16, St Hellers, Nottingham, a house which cost £6,000, and was once the home of the late Lord Trent (when jhe was Sir Jesse Boot), was sold yestp”day by.public auction for £7. i Bidding began at. £5, and the third bid secured the property. The house, which stands in large pleasure gardens, is leasehold, and the lease still lias 76 vears to run. It was extensively altered at great coat to suit Sir Jesee Boot. . The reason for the low price lifes in the heavv ground rent of £ll6, the rates of 14s in the pound, and the unusual lease, which requires the housp to be given up to the ground landlord at the end of the term in perfect condition. Several houses in the neighbour hood have reccnly changed hands at surprisingly small sums, though none has approached the insignificant fig;., ure realised in this case.
