Online Auctions
Combining the best parts of the traditional sales method with auctions we’ve created a new product; online auctions. Online auctions offer a modern method for buying and selling property in an auction environment and are accessible to everyone.
Our high-tech, online property auction portal is a fast, easy and efficient tool for buying and selling properties. If you are unable to attend our auctions venue or just simply live too far away, buying and selling via our online portal is the ideal solution.
We don’t class online auctions as a separate service from a public auction, instead we think of the two as different venues. Buyers and sellers can utilise both methods and our specialist agents can advise on which venue they feel is most suited to the property and your circumstance.
Selling a property by auction
Every year hundreds of people choose to sell their home at auction simply because it’s quick, straightforward and effective.
SELLINGBuying a property at auction
Whether you’re looking for an investment or a new home, there are many benefits to buying at auction.
BUYINGWhy have property auctions become so popular?
-
- We can sell all types of property at our auctions; from plots of land and properties, to family homes and commercial spaces.
- The sale is completely transparent. The bidding is public, so everyone has an equal opportunity to buy at the price they want to bid.
-
- It’s faster. Exchange of contracts can take place in just four to six weeks.
- Auctions are straightforward. There is no chain, unconditional contracts are exchanged on the fall of the gavel, so both parties are legally committed to complete on a set date.
