A speedy, secure and
stress-free option

Online modern auctions are becoming an increasingly popular way of selling houses. It’s like an estate agency sale but without all the toing and froing, delays and lack of commitment from viewers. Instead, you remain in control and have complete transparency of offers as they happen.

Because it’s online, buyers can access the sales from anywhere, in the comfort of their home or office and see the bids live. This transparency of bids can result in increased sales prices as interested buyers know what they need to offer to secure your property, so you achieve the best price. And your property will never sell for less than your agreed reserve figure.

An auction has a definite end date, normally 28 or 56 days, depending on your instruction so there’s none of the long-drawn-out process and multiple chain breaks that can happen with traditional sales. Once your reserve has been met or exceeded and the auction ends, your property is as good as sold. Everything’s sorted and you’re free to get on with the next stage of your life.

Committed buyers

Qualified buyers only

We qualify the buyers prior to auction and they more committed than with a conventional sale as they know they must pay a non-refundable payment towards the property as soon as you accept their offer.

Cost effective

No estate agent fees

Plus, you don’t pay any estate agent’s fees and there’s a 0% Sales Fee.

The fees the buyer pays means we can give you all the marketing involved around the auction free of charge.

FAQs

There are various misconceptions about auctions.
So, let’s address some of the common questions.

You may have tried traditional estate agents and feel it’s taking too long.

You may have found something you want to purchase but need to sell your property and don’t want to risk losing it. Or you may have another property and want to release the equity.

The buyer pays the fees so as the seller you get all the marketing and advertising around the auction without any cost at all. We work on a % sales fee.

You can accept an offer at any time but if there’s a lot of interest in your property, we’d recommend you wait until the auction date.
