UK Auction House Directory
Contact details, upcoming auction dates and current listings for the UK property auction houses AuctionLand lists. 5 of them are tracked daily, so their lots appear in the catalogue.
How this directory works
AuctionLand lists upcoming property auction lots from auction house websites in one search. Each auction house page shows the lots that house currently has listed, its next auction dates and a link to its own website.
AuctionLand is not an auctioneer. Bidding, legal packs, viewings and contracts are handled by the auction house, and lot details should be checked with them before you bid.
Auction house websites are checked once a day at 07:00 UK time. A house with no upcoming lots shows a zero count until it publishes its next catalogue; that does not mean the house has stopped selling.
Auction houses and upcoming lots by region
AuctionLand covers auction houses across the Midlands, the North West, Yorkshire and the North East, and London. Each county in these regions has its own page showing lots in that area.
In the Midlands, AuctionLand lists lots from West Midlands, Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Shropshire, Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Herefordshire and Rutland.
In the North West, coverage includes Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Lancashire, Merseyside and Cumbria.
Yorkshire and the North East listings cover South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, Northumberland, North Yorkshire, East Riding of Yorkshire, Tyne and Wear and County Durham.
London lots appear on the Greater London page.
The number of lots available changes daily as auction houses publish new catalogues and past auctions close. Each lot is assigned to a county based on the postcode shown on the auction house listing.
Land at auction in the UK
AuctionLand currently lists 281 land lots out of 1,274 upcoming lots, and 223 of those have a guide price or opening bid of £50,000 or less. 185 have a guide price or opening bid of £25,000 or less.
The land category covers small plots, garage sites and amenity land as well as larger sites, so the legal pack is the only reliable description of access, services and planning history for a particular lot.
If you intend to build, you will probably need planning permission. GOV.UK advises checking with the local planning authority before you apply, and notes that Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have separate planning systems. See planning permission in England and Wales.
What AuctionLand tracks, and what it does not
AuctionLand currently tracks 5 auction house websites: BTG Eddisons Property Auctions, Clive Emson Auctioneers, Edward Mellor, Future Property Auctions and McHugh & Co. Their catalogues are imported once a day at 07:00 UK time, and a lot stays listed until its auction has ended or the auction house withdraws it.
AuctionLand does not sell property, run auctions, take bids, value property or give legal advice. It does not collect sold prices. Paid plans show lot history — earlier auction dates, guide prices and any outcome the auction house published — only for lots re-offered since AuctionLand began tracking that house.
UK auction houses FAQ
How many auction houses does AuctionLand cover?

Lots are listed county by county across Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Staffordshire, the West Midlands, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Shropshire, Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Herefordshire and Rutland.
Where can I buy land at auction in the UK?
AuctionLand lists 281 upcoming land lots from UK auction houses, and 223 of them have a guide price or opening bid of £50,000 or less. Land is sold by the auction house running the sale, not by AuctionLand: you register, read the legal pack and bid with the auctioneer. If you plan to build, check with the local planning authority first.
Does AuctionLand list every property auction in the UK?
No. AuctionLand collects lots from the auction house websites it tracks — currently 5 — so its catalogue is those houses' upcoming lots and nothing else. Auctioneers publish their own catalogues, and portals such as Rightmove and Zoopla show the lots listed with them. Check more than one source before you rely on a search.
How often is the auction house directory updated?
Auction house websites are checked once a day at 07:00 UK time. Each page shows the lots that house currently has listed, and a house with no upcoming lots shows a zero count until it publishes its next catalogue.
Can I bid on AuctionLand?
No. AuctionLand is a search site, not an auctioneer. Bidding, legal packs, viewings and contracts are handled by the auction house, and each auction house page links to its own website.
Why does an auction house show no lots?
Either the house has no upcoming lots published, or AuctionLand does not yet import its catalogue. The directory lists both tracked and untracked houses, so a zero count does not mean the auction house has stopped selling.
Which auction houses sell property in Manchester and the North West?
Greater Manchester lots on AuctionLand currently come from Edward Mellor, BTG Eddisons Property Auctions and Future Property Auctions. Edward Mellor and BTG Eddisons also sell across Cheshire, Lancashire and Merseyside, and AuctionLand lists all five North West counties on their own pages.
