Selling your property at auction offers a host of benefits that are not available to you when selling using traditional methods.
• • •
A reserve price is agreed on your property, this is the lowest figure you would accept and we cannot sell the property for anything less than that amount.
• • •
A starting bid is used to advertise the property. It is set lower than your reserve price to generate interest and viewings. More viewings means more offers meaning a better price for you.
• • •
Buyers can view the property before the auction date and we encourage them to do so, as on the fall of the hammer they are financially committed to purchasing your property.

You will be kept updated with feedback from viewings and offers prior to the auction. If you are selling unconditionally our auction legal team will produce a legal pack with all the information a buyer will need to exchange contracts on the fall of the hammer.

The property may be offered at a live auction event or in our fantastic online auction. It will sell for the highest bid on or above the reserve.

For some sellers their initial reaction to auction is – “that’s only for desperate people” or “I’m not giving my house away” or “that’s only for run down properties.”
The truth is that auction offers a secure method of selling a property, providing a platform for exposure whilst you retain control of the process.
