House auction

What Is a Property Auction?

A property auction involves homes being listed for auction by an auction house where the public can place bids. This bidding can take place in person or online.

There are three phases to auctioning your property, the preparation period, the auction day itself and the completion.

 

Selling at auction can typically take anywhere between 6-10 weeks and it will cost around £1,200 + VAT. Even if your home doesn’t successfully sell when placed under the hammer, you will still need to pay a listing fee. If it does sell, you’ll need to pay a percentage of the sale price to the auctioneer. 

HOW MUCH IS YOUR HOUSE WORTH?

Our Reviews

I can strongly recommend The Property Buying Company if you are looking for an easy way to sell without going down the usual Estate Agent route. I was fortunate to be dealt with by Ashley Fisher, who was extremely helpful, and explained every step of the service in an efficient and friendly manner, leaving me feeling totally relaxed and confident of his attention to my requirements. A very satisfying experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

It really depends on what you are looking for. If you need a quicker sale than a traditional estate agent can offer, then an auction house may be for you. We recommend seeking the advice of an auctioneer as they should have a good idea of whether or not your property will sell. There are also other alternatives you could look to explore first.

It varies dependant on the auction house, but it can be as high as £1,200+ VAT plus 2.5% of the property value.

The property gets withdrawn if it doesn’t successfully sell at auction. You’d then be able to speak to any interested bidders via the auctioneer and they would have the option to make direct bids.

There are several alternatives to selling at auction; you have the traditional method of using an estate agent, part-exchanging, and of course our service of selling your house fast.
