Hi there!

Based on your responses, it looks like Auction could be a really good option for you.

It gives you the speed and certainty you’re looking for…
And for properties like yours (with some sort of issue), it’s usually the smartest route to a fast, secure sale at a reasonable price.

Here’s a quick rundown of the pros and cons, and what to do next if you want to explore it further.

Why Auction Could Work So Well for You...

For you, there would be five main benefits of selling through auction:

  1. No need to fix everything
    Most auction buyers are investors or developers, so they’re used to buying homes with issues. That means less pressure on you to repair, renovate, or resolve issues.
  2. Speed
    On average, you can expect a legally-binding sale in around 6–8 weeks. (Then the sale completes around 4 weeks after.)
  3. Certainty
    Once a buyer commits, the sale is legally binding. That’s why auction sales almost never fall through. (A big contrast to selling through an estate agent.)
  4. Less hassle overall
    No endless viewings or flaky buyers. Just a clear process with set deadlines.
  5. More money than using a house-buying company
    A “We Buy Any House” company may or may not be something you were considering, but because your property has some issues I wouldn’t recommend it.

    You’ll usually get 15–20% more at auction than if you sold to a house-buying company.

A quick note on the downsides...

Auction isn’t perfect — and it’s not for everyone.

  • There’s no guarantee. Even good auction houses sometimes see properties go unsold.
  • And you won’t get the top price. If you can resolve the property issues and you have time to wait, then a high-street agent would get you a better price.

But if you’re looking to sell your property without resolving its issues, then auction is probably the best option.

So, what should you do next?

3. Next Steps (Free Auction Valuation & Consultation)

If this is making sense and you want to explore auction further, here’s what to do next:

  • Step 1: Click one of the red buttons and fill out the short form.
  • Step 2: I’ll connect you immediately with a leading auction house I’ve personally vetted and trust.
  • Step 3: They’ll contact you ASAP with a free auction valuation and no-obligation consultation.

They’ll explain everything, answer your questions, and help you decide if auction really is the best option for you.

No pressure. No pushy sales talk.

Just honest advice from people I trust.

How is this service free?

Home Selling Expert is supported by our audience. When you use businesses we recommend through our site, they may pay us a referral fee.

But we do not just recommend the companies that pay us the biggest fees. Our integrity is worth a lot more than that.

Most auction houses offer referral fees, but we choose to recommend the auction houses we do because we believe from experience they're the best option if you're considering this route.

5

Am I obliged to accept their valuation and move forward?

Of course not! If the valuation's too low or the process doesn't seem like a good fit, then you can just walk away. It's totally free to get an auction valuation, and there's no obligation and never any hard sell.

If auction isn’t the right solution for you, we’ll invite you to arrange a free, impartial 20-minute consultation with us to help you figure out the best way to sell your home.

How do you decide which Auction House to recommend?

Here's how we determined our chosen auction houses:

  • Advanced Auction Software. We built software to track and analyse UK auction events in real-time. This helped us determine the best-performing auction houses.
  • Reputation & track record. Next, we analysed hundreds of reviews to see what other customers said about each company.
  • Mystery Shopping. We then mystery-shopped dozens of leading auction houses to assess the customer experience and determine how they operate.
  • Established Trusted Relationships. Based on our findings, we established relationships with the best auction houses across the UK.

The auction houses we recommend now are typically ones we've worked with (and received glowing feedback about) for 3+ years.
