Selling property by Public Auction does not suit every property or indeed every seller. However, with extremely realistic reserve prices our Auction Results consistently demonstrate that buyers are prepared to compete, when they see value, resulting in the best prices possible being achieved on the day.
What are the advantages of selling by auction?
- The marketing campaign is limited to 4 weeks, which has the advantage of concentrating the minds of prospective buyers and generates competitive interest.
- All of the financial arrangements and surveys of prospective buyers must be made prior to the auction date. As a result the successful bidder must immediately sign unconditional Contracts of Sale and pay a 10% deposit on the property being sold to him or her at auction. This ensures the swift completion of the sale process which normally takes four to six weeks from the date of the auction.
