Strong regional and national presence.

Auction House sells local property to local, regional and national buyers through over 40 regional auction rooms spread across England, Scotland and Wales, including one in Central London.

'Local property should always be sold in region by experts who understand auctions and know the area. They will always do a better job and get a higher price. I think that is why Auction House is so successful.'

Our auction rooms are run by experienced and successful local companies. These businesses are already well known and respected in the area. Our auction teams live locally, know the area, have a wealth of knowledge and numerous contacts. You can feel reassured and confident your property is in safe hands.

'Not only do they know the area and the local property market, but Auction House also has an extensive register of active buyers. These are drawn from both their auction activities and their estate agency registers. Auction House sells more auction properties to end users, and local people who improve them for their own occupation, or as a rental investment.'

 

Selling locally achieves higher prices

Everyone selling a property wants to achieve the best possible price for it. Evidence shows the prices achieved through professionally run regional auctions is higher than at centralised metropolitan auctions. Auction House are the acknowledged experts in the field and a logical first choice.

'Property sells for more money closer to home, which is why everyone appoints local estate agents. The same applies to selling by auction – choosing a regional auctioneer makes sense and you will be glad that you did.'

Auction House have outperformed other regional auctioneers for each of the last five years, our success rate last year was ahead of the national auctions average and the results of most regional auctioneers too.

We sell a variety of property types through a collective catalogue pitched to a wide range of buyers through a nearby auction room. We also have specialists within the Group who can advise sellers and buyers in all areas.

'Auction House is the only national auctioneer with a network of regional auction rooms and the only company running professional auctions in widespread locations across the country. If you want to sell your property through a local auction room, give them a call.'

 

We know your area and visit your property

Sellers need to be very wary of out-of-area auctioneers who don't attend and inspect properties before giving advice on Guide Prices and Reserves. Auction House have auctioneers and valuers in your area who can meet you at the property, inspect it thoroughly and give you proper guidance.

'I don't see how anyone can know the value of a property without visiting it, seeing its condition and its surroundings. Not only that but how can they sell it effectively without knowing the opportunities that it offers.'
