An auction sale doesn’t suit everyone’s circumstances; if you’re not in a hurry and your property isn’t suited to an auction sale then you might be better off with a more managed sale through a local Manchester estate agent. Otherwise you risk selling below market value for the reserve price recommended by the auctioneer.
Manchester property auctioneers charge about the same as you might expect to pay a high street estate agent and some work on a no sale no fee basis. Read on for more information about costs for selling a house at auction.

Selling a tenanted house – Sean became an “accidental landlord” several years ago when he moved into his girlfriends flat in the Northern Quarter of Manchester. Sean’s house on Holker Close, Manchester M13 was rented via the Manchester City Council to tenants on a 5 year agreement and the rental yield proved very attractive to local property investors at auction. Tenanted residential properties sell particularly well at auction if the rental yield is in the region of 7% to 9% and sale results can be better than a sale through an estate agent.
Selling an inherited property – Christopher had recently inherited a 5 bedroom detached house in Salford. The property was in a poor state of repair and although there had been interest from prospective buyers through a local estate agent, there had been no firm offers. As soon as grant of probate was issued Christopher decided to instruct a Manchester auctioneer and a sale was achieved within 6 weeks for a price far in excess of expectations.
