Key facts to know about selling a residential property through an auction

Selling your leasehold or freehold flat or house through an auction is relatively easy; you simply contact an auction house and they will do most of the hard work. They’ll be responsible for creating a listing that describes your property and includes photographs of it, then advertising that listing to generate interest from potential buyers, and hosting the auction itself.
You will have to work with the auctioneer to agree on a minimum reserve price for your home. This is the lowest possible value at which you are willing to let your home be sold. Auctioneers typically want you to set this as a value that might be below your comfort level, simply because they believe it will attract most interest from buyers, with the result that during the auction several people will try to outbid each other to buy your home, pushing the final price up. Although this can often happen, note that you might only get one bid at the reserve price.
There could be a slight wait of a few weeks between when you enter your home for sale and the date on which the auction takes place, and you could also face another few weeks of waiting after a successful auction whilst all of the legal documents for the sale are completed. But it’s still often a faster way for selling your home when compared to using an estate agent’s services.
Just remember that auctioneers will charge you fees in exchange for the work that they do in selling your home, and you’ll have to budget for these when calculating how much you might be able to make from the sale. The good news is that in certain situations, it might be possible for the top winning bidder pay this commission instead.
