TWO blocks of 34 flats and a pair of commercial units on Clarence Place in Newport will be sold at the end of November for bids in excess of £750,000.

The flats are split between two vacant units on the city centre street either side of Clarence Food & Wine, one of them above the former ‘Curry on the Curve’ restaurant.

Seel & Co Auctions are inviting bids by former tender that are over £750,000 by 5pm on Friday, November 8.

The vendors – Pobl Group Ltd – have also requested information for the future plans for the buildings, the history of each buyer and other developments that they own in order to give context to the bid.
