Property Auctions in the Cotswolds and Across the UK

A property auction gives you what a normal sale cannot promise, a definite buyer on a definite date. We sell property from the heart of the Cotswolds in partnership with a trusted and experienced estate agent.

Why sell your house at auction?

When the hammer falls, the sale is binding. That means the contract is agreed there and then, and the buyer cannot walk away.

  • ✓A binding sale on the fall of the hammer
  • ✓Completion within 28 working days, which is when money and keys change hands
  • ✓A definite date you can plan your life around
  • ✓Open bidding, so the market sets a true price
Is auction right for you?

Which properties suit auction?

Auction is not right for every home, and we will tell you honestly if it is not right for yours.

  • ✓Unusual or characterful properties
  • ✓Homes that are hard to price
  • ✓Probate properties, where executors want a clean and certain sale
  • ✓Any seller who simply wants a definite moving date
Buyers everywhere

Frequently asked questions

Is my property right for auction?

Unusual, characterful or hard-to-price homes often do best, and probate properties suit auction well. Ask us and we will give you a straight answer.

Do you sell land?

Yes! It’s not just property we can sell. Whether it’s land, commercial property or development sites, we can bespoke an auction for you.

What does it cost to sell property at auction?

We will give you a clear written guide to costs before you commit to anything.

What is a guide price and what is a reserve?

The guide price is generally set at a conservative price in order to attract buyers. If the price is too high the property simply will not sell. The reserve is the lowest price you will accept, agreed with you and kept private.

How fast is completion?

The buyer must complete within 28 working days of the hammer falling, so most sellers are done in about a month. The buyer pays a 10% deposit at auction which is non-refundable. This reduces buyers pulling out of the sale; something that happens frequently when a property is listed on the open market.
