Top queries and answers for auctioneers when selling your Manor House home

You might be thinking about using a property auction to sell your house or flat in Manor House. There can be some advantages of this method, including that you might be able to sell much quicker than using an estate agent, and you might get a very good sale price if many people are interested in buying your home and keep trying to outbid each other during the auction.

But before settling on this method of selling your property, you should consider emailing or calling a few different auction houses so that you can query them about how they work, and their past successes. We’ve provided some suggested questions to ask property auctioneers, along with information on what to take away from whatever answers you’re given.

Have you sold properties like mine in Manor House before?

This question will help to determine whether a specific auction house has the expertise necessary to sell your type of property. Some companies specialise in selling certain houses or flats, and might never have sold the kind of home you’re trying to sell. If that’s the case then they might struggle to attract buyers and your property might not get any bids.

How much commission do you charge homeowners for an auction sale?

Budgeting is an essential part of selling your home, and that includes needing to know which fees you might have to pay an auctioneer because this will let you know how much net profit you can expect to make from the sale.

What’s your plan for how you will market my home before the auction?

You need to know that an auctioneer has a detailed plan for how they will advertise your home in advance of the auction taking place, and a company’s answer to this query will give you good insight into their strategy for maximising interest from potential bidders. Any auctioneer that cannot outline such a plan should be considered a potential warning sign.

What is your deadline for completing the sale of an auctioned home?

Auction houses have varying deadlines for when a winning bidder must complete the purchase of a home that they have bought through an auction, and you need to know this timeframe for your certainty about moving to a new property. The average deadline is 28 days from the date of the auction, although it can be more or less time with some auctioneers.
