Why Sell at Auction?
Selling your property doesn’t have to be stressful or uncertain. With traditional methods, deals can fall through, chains can break, and the whole process can take months. Our auction service offers a faster, more dependable way to sell — with serious buyers who are committed from the moment they place a bid.
We’ve brought the auction experience online, opening your property up to a much wider pool of motivated buyers. People can bid from anywhere, at any time, creating more competition and helping you achieve the best possible price. It’s a modern, transparent approach that keeps you in control every step of the way.
Working alongside Town & Country Property Auctions, one of the UK’s most trusted auction specialists, we combine national exposure with local knowledge. That means you get the best of both worlds: a professional, streamlined service backed by expertise, along with the personal support you’d expect from your local agent.
Two Auction Methods
Unconditional Auction
Choose the traditional auction route for a simple, secure, and fast sale. As soon as the auction ends and your reserve price is met, you exchange contracts immediately. Most sales complete within 28 days, giving you a clear and reliable timeline from day one.
Buyers must have their funds in place before they bid, so you move forward knowing the sale becomes legally binding the moment the auction finishes. No delays, no uncertainty — just a direct path to completion.
Ideal for:
- Cash buyers
- Probate or investment properties
- Homes that need refurbishment
- Sellers who want a quick, guaranteed result
Conditional Auction
Take advantage of the speed, transparency, and competition of auction, while giving buyers more flexibility. This option attracts a wider audience, including those who need mortgage finance.
When the auction ends, the winning bidder pays a non-refundable reservation fee to secure your property. They then have up to 60 days to exchange and complete, giving them time to arrange funding or carry out final checks — while you still benefit from a committed buyer and a defined timeline.
Ideal for:
- Standard residential homes
- Buyers who need a mortgage
- Sellers who want to reach the widest possible audience
