Pudsey Town Hall up for grabs
Leeds City Council has instructed Lambert Smith Hampton to lead on the disposal of the 1880-built asset, which comprises 21,500 sq ft.
The local authority has formally declared the building, which Place understands to have been vacant since around 2020, as surplus to requirements.
No guide price has been given.
Built over four principal floors, the town hall occupies a prominent corner position with three road frontages. It was designed by Bradford architect Hope & Jardine in a Gothic style, using traditional stone masonry with detailed architectural features.
Features include an arched main entrance and period stone detailing, with large sash windows to the upper floors. Inside, the layout includes a main feature staircase.
LSH said that the property was initially built for the local Mechanics’ Institute and later became Pudsey Borough Council’s headquarters in the early 1900s, continuing to serve civic functions for years after.
The agent said that the site offers potential redevelopment opportunities due to its town centre location with residential uses encouraged.
Richard Corby, senior director at Lambert Smith Hampton, is handling the disposal for LCC. He said: “We are calling for unconditional offers for the freehold property to be submitted by 12 February 2026 so that the sale can complete before 31 March 2026, and we anticipate a strong level of interest from prospective purchasers.”
