Property Auction FAQs
Thinking of a residential or commercial property auction? Below are some of the more common queries that get raised.
If you can’t find what you need or are still unsure as to any aspect, please don’t hesitate to contact us and speak to one of our team.
Why sell at auction?
Selling a property at auction is a great way to maximise the price you achieve through the competitive bidding it generates. It’s also generally the fastest way to sell. Additional benefits of an auction sale are transparency, cost effectiveness and certainty to both sellers and purchasers.
Why buy at auction?
Online property auctions are a great way to acquire property. You can get a lot of information to help you decide whether to bid, and if successful, you have the certainty that an immediate exchange of contracts brings. You’ll also know that you are only paying the price you need to, with the transparency of being able to see what others are prepared to pay. Many buyers prefer the simplicity of the process, and you’re sure to love the excitement of the auction day.

Do auction properties have something wrong with them?
This is a common misconception. While an auction can be the best or only viable route for properties with issues, such as defective title, missing information, poor condition or problematic tenants, the vast majority of auction lots have no such concerns. Many buyers simply prefer the certainty and simplicity of the online property auction process.
We aim to make sure you have comprehensive, reliable information allowing you to make the most informed buying decisions. Our advice to all buyers is to make sure you carry out whatever due diligence you require in full before bidding. We’ll do our best to help and point you in the direction of available information, but it’s your responsibility to obtain your own professional, independent advice appropriate to your own circumstances and post-acquisition plans for the property.
Do I need to be a cash buyer?
Another popular misconception is that you have to be a cash buyer at auction. Many properties are suitable for a traditional mortgage, and if not, there are specialist lenders we can put you in touch with to access quick finance whilst you arrange a more long-term finance solution. For more information, please contact us.
It is, of course, your responsibility to check whether finance can be used, and this should form part of your due diligence. Remember that if relying on finance to complete your purchase, you need sufficient funds ready on the day to pay your deposit, and there may be other additional costs you incur that a mortgage may not cover.
