And the close to £2 million they'll get for it is better in their bank account rather than spent on a building beyond repair.
Think of all the buses you could repaint for that.
Once you have had meetings to organise meetings, taken in to account staff wages for those meetings, drawn some ideas up, gone backwards and forwards with BI (and paid for some of his new shorts), sent the vehicles off to the back of beyond and waited for them to come back.
You're probably looking at about 3 vehicles worth of paint.
Roughly.

It was mentioned in the original listings that the site will be levelled and cleared prior to the new owner taking over after the sale.
