Our company has been buying and selling properties at auction since 2001, and I have worked in property since 1988, including buying and selling at auction since 1993. Over nearly four decades, I have run my own estate agency and worked as a property developer and acted as investment consultant to hundreds of clients. That experience, combined with our strong contacts across the UK, allows us to recommend the right partner to help you sell quickly and achieve the best possible outcome.
An auction listing by the best Auction firm for your type of property and location will give your property wide exposure, create competitive bidding and help you achieve a price that is closer to — or even above — market value. Auction sales have grown strongly in recent years, supported by online bidding, better access to information and increased buyer participation. It also offers speed and a high level of certainty once a sale is agreed.
However there are nuances to auctions and how you present your property in terms of information, listing , location in the catalogue and crucially the right auction partner and advice is vital to achieving as high a price as possible. We will guide you through the process from start to finish having sold properties ourselves and advised clients for many years to maximise the interest and end price when the hammer falls.
For many of our clients, fees can be deferred until after the auction. We also work to keep costs to a minimum and can recommend specialist auction solicitors to prepare the legal pack and act on your behalf throughout the sale. Depending on the auction firm you appoint and how we structure the listing, the costs can often be kept very low.
We receive referral fees from many of the auction houses we recommend. There are also referral opportunities for clients which can help reduce your overall costs further and even generate income too going forward. We would be happy to explain how this works in more detail during our call.
