A property developer who poured £3.2 million into revamping a crumbling historic hotel is now selling it for just £1.

Na'im Payman snapped up the Grade II-listed Royal Hotel in Kettering, Northamptonshire back in 2020 for £2.2 million.

He pumped in another million trying to transform it into a wedding venue, restaurant, nightclub and café.

But three and a half years on, the dream has hit a wall as Mr Payman finds himself without the money to finish it.

He's now offering the grand 43-bedroom Victorian landmark to property hunters for just a pound, with no reserve.
