If you want a quicker sale with added security, auction is a fantastic option. Here’s why:

Set a Reserve Price – You have control over the minimum amount your property will sell for.
Competitive Bidding – Buyers bid against each other, often driving up the final sale price.
Fixed Timescales – A structured timeline means less uncertainty.
Serious Buyers – Those who bid are committed to purchasing.
No Sale, No Fee – You don’t pay a penny unless your property sells.

The Two Types of Auction

I offer both Traditional Auction and the Modern Method of Auction, giving you flexibility depending on your circumstances.

Traditional Auction (Unconditional Sale)

This is the classic auction method, often seen in auction houses. Here’s how it works:

Marketing & Viewings – I create a tailored marketing campaign, including professional photography and listings on major property portals. I’ll also conduct viewings to showcase your home to potential buyers.
Bidding Process – Buyers place their bids, and when the auction ends, the highest bidder (as long as they’ve met or exceeded the reserve price) is legally bound to purchase the property.
Immediate Exchange – As soon as the auction ends, contracts are exchanged, and the buyer pays a 10% deposit.
Completion in 28 Days – The sale completes within 28 days, giving you a fast, secure sale.

Best for: Sellers who need a quick, guaranteed sale and have properties suited to cash buyers or investors.

Modern Method of Auction (Conditional Sale)

A more flexible approach that allows for mortgage buyers to get involved, widening your potential pool of bidders. Here’s how it works:

Marketing & Viewings – Just like with Traditional Auction, I handle everything to ensure your home is presented at its best.
Bidding Process – The auction runs online for a set period, allowing buyers to place bids at their convenience.
Reservation Fee Paid – When the highest bid meets the reserve price, the buyer secures the property by paying a non-refundable reservation fee.
Completion in 56 Days – The buyer then has up to 56 days to exchange contracts and complete the sale, giving them time to arrange mortgage finance if needed.

Best for: Sellers who want a faster sale than the open market but need to accommodate buyers who require mortgage finance.
