Who we help
Auction is ideal for...

Auction works best when you want competitive bidding to maximise your sale price.

Inherited property

Auction is perfect for inherited properties — especially unusual or period homes where competitive bidding can drive prices well above estate agent valuations.

Probate property

Probate sales benefit from auction’s speed and certainty. A legally binding sale on the day removes the uncertainty of prolonged estate agent chains.

Tenanted property

Auction attracts landlords and investors who actively want tenanted properties — no vacant possession required, often achieving strong prices.

Unusual properties

Properties that are hard to value — listed buildings, commercial conversions, land — often achieve their best price through competitive auction bidding.

Properties needing work

Developers and investors at auction actively seek renovation projects. You sell as-is with no pressure to repair or redecorate before sale.

Divorce & separation

A legally binding auction sale provides certainty for both parties — no risk of buyers pulling out, clean proceeds split on completion.

Common questions
Auction FAQs

Everything you need to know before enquiring.

Will I get more than a cash offer?+
Often yes — auction’s competitive bidding regularly achieves full market value or above, especially for unusual, tenanted or inherited properties. Cash buyers typically offer 80–90% of market value. Auction removes that discount through competitive bidding.
What if my property doesn’t sell?+
If bidding doesn’t reach your reserve price, the property is unsold. You’re under no obligation and can relist, adjust the reserve, or switch to a cash buyer route. PropSell will guide you through the options at no cost.
Is the sale really legally binding on the day?+
Yes — when the hammer falls, contracts are exchanged immediately. The buyer pays a 10% deposit on the day and is legally committed to completing within the agreed timeframe, typically 28 days. There is no risk of fall-throughs after this point.
How is the reserve price set?+
You set the reserve price in agreement with the auctioneer based on a valuation of your property. Your property will never sell for less than this amount. The guide price marketed to buyers is typically set slightly below the reserve to attract competitive interest.
Is PropSell really free?+
Yes — completely free for sellers. PropSell earns a referral fee from the auction partner, not from you. The auctioneer charges a standard seller’s fee which will be explained clearly before you commit to anything.
Can I sell a tenanted property at auction?+
Yes — auction is actually one of the best routes for tenanted properties. Investors and landlords at auction actively seek tenanted properties and often pay strong prices without requiring vacant possession.
