                                                               paying the commission for the sale of the property,

     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.
