Frequently asked questions
Three reasons: Maximum price, speed and security.
Price – You are in full control at all times. From the reserve price to the guide price, we are here only to advise. Setting an attractive guide price instills the engagement of potential buyers. The competitive atmosphere and the variety of bidders from different sources will push up the price organically. If a property is suitable for auction- expect the sale price to reflect that.
Speed – Land Auctions are best known for selling with speed. On the fall of the gavel contracts are exchanged and completion usually 28 days after, unless special conditions apply. By following our advice and pricing the property at a keen and attractive level you can be sure of a quick sale and sometimes even a pre-auction sale.
Security – Imagine a sale with no possible fall throughs. Once the gavel falls the buyer and seller are legally bound to the sale and contracts are exchanged. Neither party can pull out. Not only this, this method of sale eliminates any long negotiation processes and seller chains.

Everyone and anyone can, especially with our innovative ‘Conditional Auction.’ This is aimed specifically at the buyers who may require finance, so we do not aim solely for cash buyers. We do not exclude any buyer who is in a proceedable position. We also have thousands of investors on our books looking for opportunities.
You can NEVER under sell at auction. The trick is setting an aggressive start bid to generate multiple viewings over a set time span. Then, at auction, purchasers bid against each other either in person by proxy, phone, or internet.
By agreement with the seller, a reserve is set and can be altered only with the seller’s consent. The auction representative will keep the seller informed at all times along the process as to any pre-auction offers and general interest leading up to the auction itself.
We conduct open days and viewings ourselves generally, however, we are able to make arrangements with local agents for access if necessary as we know every lot and vendor is different and should be treated as such.
In the weeks approaching the auction we advertise weekly in regional newspapers and property supplements. Each property will also enjoy maximum exposure by being displayed on internet websites 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week, 52 weeks-a-year. The internet also offers potential buyers the opportunity to print colour brochures or to contact the office directly to organise viewings or arrange details to be sent out in the post.
