Join us on a tour of the Gupta compound on Saxonwold Drive; this was the home of the Gupta brothers, but it is now being sold at auction.


The Citizen had the opportunity to have a look around the Gupta compound in Saxonwold.

This was ahead of an auction taking place to sell the three properties.

Number 3 Saxonwold Drive was the most rundown property of the three, and it was the only one to sell.

Numbers 5 and 7 did not sell during the auction by Park Village Auctioneers.
