The Tax Auction

I have always loved old, interesting, bizarre, industrial buildings. As you can imagine I am not the easiest person to buy a property with. Luckily Aimee does share some common ground which is how we ended up with Gill House. Aimee must have been searching for auctions as we came across an auction by the City of Kingston, who had acquired numerous properties over the years, due to abandonment etc.  Aimee must have searched each property on the internet and Gill House was the top of her list. We did drive past the house once or twice but that was it. The property was boarded up and with all properties in this auction the buyer was buying as seen. There were no tours, you could not get into the properties as all the doors had been locked and screwed up etc. The best you could do was to peer through windows etc.

The rest is history, but how much did you pay I hear you ask, more that we had planned but less than the assessed value.
