Frequently Asked Questions
-
The buyer pays a non-refundable fee to secure the property. Then, depending on the type of auction, they either exchange contracts immediately (unconditional) or within 28 days (conditional), with completion following shortly after.
-
No. Your property will only sell if the bidding meets or exceeds your pre-agreed Reserve Price. You stay in control and can decide whether to accept any bid, even if it meets the reserve.
-
Most auctions complete in 28 or 56 days, depending on whether the sale is unconditional or conditional. That fixed timescale is one of the biggest advantages of the auction process.
-
Yes - auctions aren’t just for cash buyers. Many buyers use mortgages, especially with conditional sales that allow extra time between exchange and completion. We always recommend they have a decision in principle in place before bidding.
-
You’re not locked in - if a buyer makes an acceptable offer before the auction end date, you can choose to accept it. We’ll still apply the same secure terms, including non-refundable fees and fixed timelines.
-
This is the minimum price you’re willing to accept for your property. It’s agreed privately between you and us before marketing begins, and your property will not sell for less than this figure.
-
The Starting Bid is the guide price shown publicly to attract interest. It’s lower than your Reserve Price to encourage competition, but the property won’t be sold unless the Reserve is met or exceeded.
-
A full legal pack is created before your property is listed. It gives potential buyers everything they need to make an informed decision and speeds up the process when a bid is accepted. It’s usually produced at no upfront cost to you.
Auction Myths vs Truths
-
Truth: We sell all types of homes at auction – from stylish apartments and family houses to land and commercial spaces. It’s a smart route for anyone who wants a faster, more secure sale.
-
Truth: Actually, it’s the opposite. Buyers pay a non-refundable fee once a bid is accepted, which makes them financially committed to completing the purchase.
-
Truth: You choose whether the sale completes in 28 or 56 days – and everything is clearly explained up front. It's quick, but not rushed.
-
Truth: Auction is for anyone who wants control, transparency, and certainty – not just speed. It's especially appealing if you've had a fall-through or want to avoid renegotiation.
-
Truth: Our platform is user-friendly and completely transparent. All bids are visible online, and buyers can bid from anywhere, anytime.
-
Truth: We handle the process for you. A legal pack is arranged by our partner solicitors, usually at no upfront cost. You don’t need to lift a finger until offers come in.
-
Truth: You can. Tenanted properties are often in high demand with investors, and we’ll advise you on the best way to structure the sale based on your situation.
-
Truth: Not at all. There are no fees if your property doesn’t sell, and you’ve gained exposure to a large pool of buyers. Many properties receive post-auction offers as well.
