There’s a growing move towards auction as a mainstream method of sale. Homeowners are recognising that auction is not only about the “homes under the hammer” style auctions you see on TV. The auction market has changed to cater for all types of properties, including normal family homes, modern apartments and even luxury homes!

One of the main drivers for auctions becoming mainstream, is to overcome the slow and inefficient nature of estate agency sales in England and Wales (sales falling through, gazundering etc.) that cause so much frustration for home sellers.

Houses and flats in good condition

High value properties in good condition can be sold by auction too. Here’s an example of a flat in London that sold by auction for £1,050,000. At a time when the London property market was very quiet due to COVID-19; the “London exodus” caused the supply of properties on the market to be considerably higher than buyer demand.  Despite market conditions in the area being very difficult for sellers, the property sold very quickly and for a good price.

Sale price:  £1,050,000
Time taken to sell (exchange contracts):  34 days

Homes requiring modernisation

There’s a very good reason why the owners of houses and flats in need of modernisation choose to sell by auction, rather than choosing an estate agency sale. The rules of an auction sale mean that all bids/offers are legally binding; buyers are not allowed to reduce their offer if they find faults with the property. This means the property is sold on the basis of its true potential rather than its problems, as the auction sale of this property in Crouch End, London demonstrates.

Property location:  Nightingale Lane, Crouch End, London N8 7LJ
Sale price:  £766,000
Time taken to sell (exchange contracts):  24 days
