Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about selling your property at auction.
Fees vary by auction house. Some charge sellers, while others collect commission from the buyer. Request valuations from multiple auctioneers to compare their terms and fee structures.
Auction timelines vary by auctioneer. From initial valuation to auction day is typically several weeks, with completion following within an agreed timeframe after the auction.
A reserve price is the minimum your property will sell for. You agree it with the auctioneer before the auction — the property cannot be sold below this figure. It gives you complete protection and control over the outcome.
Almost any UK residential or commercial property: houses, flats, land and development plots, commercial units, tenanted properties, and properties needing renovation. Auction works particularly well for unusual or hard-to-value properties.
On auction day, registered bidders compete live (in-room) or online. When the hammer falls, the winning bidder exchanges contracts immediately and pays a non-refundable deposit. Completion follows within an agreed timeframe — the sale is legally binding from that instant.
Yes. A mortgage does not prevent an auction sale. The outstanding balance is simply repaid from the sale proceeds at completion, exactly as it would be in a private estate agent sale.
If bidding does not reach your reserve price the property is unsold. You can work with the auctioneer to review the reserve or explore other routes.
Auction provides a fixed timeline and legally binding exchange on auction day, reducing fall-through risk. Estate agent sales typically take 4–6 months and carry a higher fall-through rate. Fee structures differ between auctioneers and estate agents.
