Advantages of selling by auction

Certainty: Properties are not sold ‘subject to contract’ as the successful bidder legally exchanges contracts on the fall of the hammer.

Speed of sale: An initial marketing period and the sale completes 20 working days after the auction.

Competitive bidding: Competitive bidding secures the highest sale price.

We run auctions online or in an auction room with online bidding. This allows a global audience and enables more buyers to participate – improving our success rate and increasing sale prices through competition.
