We will enter your property into a unique auction cycle with a fixed end date. Together, we agree on an attractive starting bid price and an undisclosed reserve price. Once agreed, marketing begins immediately through our online bidding platform and all leading property portals.
The entry price used to generate interest and encourage competitive bidding.
The minimum price agreed with you before marketing begins.
Once the reserve is met, the sale proceeds to exchange within the agreed timescale.
Buyers can view before bidding, helping attract informed and committed purchasers.
Prepared upfront to help streamline due diligence and reduce delays.
Selling through our online auction platform allows landlords to market and sell their investment properties without the risk or financial impact of a void period. Properties can be sold as going concerns or with vacant possession, as individual units or, where needed, as part of a portfolio. All options are tailored to meet individual requirements.
Selling a commercial property involves more variables, depending on whether a business is currently operating from the premises or not. Please discuss this with a member of our team to find the best approach.
There are two components needed to maximise the chances of selling through auction; a motivated and realistic seller, and secondly, great marketing exposure. Our marketing strategy will guarantee you the fairest price in the current market for your property. If you decide to explore the auction route further, a member of our auction department will discuss the most effective pricing strategy to maximise interest on your property.
No, all properties are sold with an undisclosed minimum reserve price (agreed with the seller). The only price the public sees is the starting and actual bids; the reserve price remains confidential. Once the reserve price has been met and the auction is closed, the sale will proceed. A reservation fee/deposit is then taken. If you choose to pay no sales fees, the reservation fee will not form part payment of the purchase price but will be paid in addition to cover the costs of the process.
Yes, you can accept a bid and sell your property before the auction ends. By law, we are duty bound to put any offer forward to you, and it’s then your decision whether to consider it and remove the property from the auction early.
Depending on which auction option you select this can be decided by you but will generally be between 28 – 56 days.
The law requires that any offer made to purchase your property must be passed on by the agent unless you have said that offers of a particular type are not to be advised to you. If the prospective buyer does not agree to pay the fee, the agent should advise you accordingly and seek your instructions.
