Frequent Questions
Selling through a traditional estate agent can be an extended, intricate process. You'd typically schedule multiple agents to appraise your property, select an agent based on the highest quotation, and then endure a waiting game as your property gets marketed. This wait for a buyer could stretch to months, or even years. There's no guarantee of a quick sale, and the agents have no real incentive to expedite the process - their commission will be paid regardless of the length of time it takes. The attractive price you were initially quoted often gets whittled down over time as the property lingers on the market. Meanwhile, you're faced with a financial drain each month as mortgage and utility bills continue to pile up. We can pay these costs with a tailored solution for you and your property.

In what was once seen as a niche market predominantly for investors and developers, property auctions have witnessed a surge in popularity in recent years. The way people choose to buy and sell property has undergone significant changes with the last few years in part driven by the pandemic, property auctions are now being used as a means of sale by all types of buyers.
Completion is key to a successful sale. A reserve price is the price that we agree to be the MINIMUM price you will accept for the property – the reserve price is only known by you and the auction team. It is very important to be realistic about what the minimum value is and take advice from the auctioneer. If this figure is too high the property may not sell, if your reserve price is not reached then your property WILL NOT be sold, However, buyers can make a post-auction bid. If you do not accept you can relist your property or choose a different sales route. There are no exit fees.
