How to sell your home at Auction

Last Updated 27/06/2022

What is an auction?

A timed online auction is the process of buying a property by through bids.

Each property will be listed with a Guide Price but the property will need to hit the reserve price in order to sell. The reserve price is kept confidential.

The Pros of Buying or Selling at Auction

Auction sales complete a lot quicker compared to regular transactions

Properties that require renovation or have any potential to add value always sell well at auction

Once the auction ends then contracts are exchanged and the purchaser is legally committed to the purchase

There is no chance of gazumping

How to Bid

We market at auction in partnership with our auctioneers who will hold the legal pack for all auction properties. After arranging a viewing of the property through ourselves, you can place a bid online before the auction end date.


When the Auction ends

Once the auction has ended and if you are the successful purchaser, the auction fees will be paid and the contracts exchanged immediately. The sale will complete in approximately 28 days.
