Free to start — no hidden catches
You can get your property reviewed and set up for auction without paying marketing fees or sales commissions to begin. If we proceed, your costs are kept simple and compliant — including a small £15 + VAT compliance fee for the required UK ID verification and due diligence checks (AML/PEP, sanctions screening, and beneficial owner checks).
There are no long contracts, and you're not locked in. Our approach is built around making it easy for you to take the next step.
More certainty — exchange quickly, complete when agreed
Auctions are structured: exchange happens immediately on the auction day (subject to the normal legal process), with completion typically scheduled around 28 or 56 days depending on the case.
Compared with many private treaty sales, the auction format is designed to reduce uncertainty — helping buyers and sellers move forward with confidence.
You stay in control with a reserve
Set a reserve (your minimum acceptable price). Bidding can be competitive, but the outcome remains protected: if the bidding doesn't reach your reserve, the property won't be forced through.
- Protects the value you're not willing to under-sell.
- Clear decision point on auction day.
- No surprises after you've agreed the minimum.
Auctions create competition — and often stronger prices
UK property auctions attract buyers who are ready to decide. When motivated bidders compete in real time, price discovery becomes transparent — and that momentum can drive final figures closer to what the market is willing to pay.
Pair that with a commission-light model (no upfront marketing fees to you), and you get a selling process designed to be efficient and seller-friendly.
Specialist auction solicitors — smoother packs, faster progress
