Online auctions offer one of the fastest, most transparent and effective ways to sell property and land. It’s so much easier than you may think, offering a high degree of certainty that contracts will be exchanged on the auction day. The entire sales process, from instruction to exchange of contracts, is achieved in as little as four to six weeks, with the security of a 10% deposit and completion within 20 - 30 working days.
The benefits of selling property at auction:
- Certainty: Contracts are exchanged on the day of the auction
- Speed: Instruction to exchange can take as little as four to six weeks
- Transparency: All interested buyers bid publicly for the property or land
- Extensive Marketing: Your property is promoted to the UK and beyond through a comprehensive marketing campaign
A guide to selling property at auction
During the inspection we will inform you of the value of your property or land and advise you on the best way to sell your property.
When the property is advertised for sale by auction we will agree a confidential reserve price, which is the minimum amount that the property can be sold for.
A comprehensive and extensive marketing campaign is utilised to encourage as much interest as possible prior to auction day.
Your solicitor will need to prepare the legal pack, which we need to provide to prospective buyers to view before they bid.
Set viewing times are publicised for prospective buyers to inspect the property and are carried out by our local property experts.
Our auctions take place online, where all interested parties come to bid against each other, in a transparent environment.
Contracts are exchanged with the highest bidder once the reserve price has been met. The buyer will then sign the sale memorandum and pay a 10% non-refundable deposit.
Completion normally takes place just 20 working days (4 weeks) after the auction as per the special conditions of sale, when the balance of the purchase price is paid.
