This method of sale provides clients with an opportunity of generating open competition for their property, ensuring that a sale is transparent and fair and secures a sale of a property with no renegotiation implications.
It also provides maximum advertising exposure through websites and local newspaper advertising. It has the benefit of selling a property within a given period and creates a genuine buyer able to exchange unconditionally. With a fixed reserve clients know the minimum figure they can expect to achieve.
How do house auctions work?
A sale of a property by public auction ensures maximum exposure to a large number of people within a limited time frame where subject to the reserve being met, guarantees a sale by way of exchange of contracts on the fall of a hammer and with completion usually within 28 days of exchange.

The costs of selling your house at auction
Conveyancing / Legal Pack
Once you have selected a solicitor to handle your house sale at auction, they will also need to prepare a legal pack, this is made available to prospective buyers prior to the auction, and will usually include a title plan, fixtures/fittings forms, property information forms, local, drainage and environmental searches and any lease information (if leasehold). The appointed solicitor will then complete the paperwork for the transaction after the auction, and complete the transfer of funds upon completion.
Estate Agent
There will be a commission payable upon the successful sale of the lot at auction, there is also an entry fee payable to cover administration costs. A written quotation of any fees will be provided by the auctioneer after the initial market appraisal.
