Popular Question About Buying

One of the biggest benefits is the chance to buy a property at a competitive price, often below market value. Auctions are fast, with no delays or waiting for closing dates like traditional sales. The bidding process ensures transparency and helps you find the property’s true value without the usual uncertainty.

The reserve price is the lowest amount the seller is willing to accept for the property. If bidding doesn’t meet this amount, the property won’t be sold. It protects the seller from selling for less than they’re comfortable with.

The guide price is the advertised starting price, usually set lower than the reserve to attract more interest. It encourages competitive bidding, which increases the chances of a successful sale.

We organize group viewings in the weeks leading up to the auction. A full schedule and auction catalogue will be available beforehand. If needed, we can also provide a virtual tour as an alternative.

Yes, it’s best to insure the property as soon as you pay the deposit to protect your interest. Unexpected events can happen, and insurance ensures you’re covered right away.

Yes, you can use the ‘Buy Now’ option if it’s available. To secure the purchase, you’ll need to pay a deposit and cover the buyer’s admin fees. This allows you to reserve the property before the auction starts.

While we provide the most accurate information available, we recommend doing your own due diligence. Auctions are final, and the last bid is legally binding. Always review the terms and conditions, legal packs, and consult your solicitor if you have questions.

If the reserve isn’t met but your bid is close, the seller may reconsider. We’ll contact you after the auction to discuss options. If not, the property will be relisted for the next auction.
