auction service
If your property has any of the above, we can
help you achieve a sale within a short timeframe.
Here’s how auction can benefit you:
• All estate agency fees are paid by the purchaser
• 28 days between purchase and exchange,
unless agreed otherwise
• The opportunity to sell the property over
market value
Selling your property at auction • Professional qualified auctioneers working
on your behalf
could be the best way to secure Our auction partner uses a unique approach called
a swift sale at the right price. Buyer’s Premium. The purchaser is responsible for
paying the commission for the sale of the property,
not the vendor.
A N A LT E R N AT I V E WAY
OF SELLING
We work closely with an auction partner to offer
this method of sale, which can be an alternative
to a normal private treaty sale.
The main difference of selling by auction is that
it is governed by a fixed timescale for exchange
and completion. Exchange occurs on the fall of the
hammer on the day of the auction, with completion
often taking place as quickly as 28 days later.
Another key difference of using this method of
selling is the way the value of a property is assessed.
When selling a property at auction, the auctioneer
will use a pricing strategy that generates interest
from multiple buyers and in doing so will encourage
the ‘bid up’ system in an auction environment.
Selling through auction is not suitable for every
client or property, but if it is a consideration, we
can offer expert advice.
