In the UK, sellers are often faced with substantial agent commissions due to a lack of regulatory constraints in the industry.
Using our partner online Auction platform can reduce these costs.
Our approach focuses on connecting sellers and buyers in a manner that diverges from the conventional methods of real estate transactions.

Could you clarify the distinction between selling a property on the open market via Private Treaty and conducting a sale through an auction?

A sale through a private treaty typically involves negotiation between the buyer and seller, often facilitated by a Real Estate Agent. Following the agreement on a price, solicitors are engaged, and the parties proceed with the transaction until a private contract is finalized and the sale is completed.

Nonetheless, this process can be drawn out, sometimes leading to extended delays beyond 100 days, and approximately 30% of these transactions fail to finalize.

The contemporary approach of online auctions offers both sellers and buyers efficiency and certainty, with set completion periods of either 28 or 56 days. Upon the acceptance of a satisfactory bid, the likelihood of the transaction falling through is significantly decreased.

What is an auction pack?

When opting for an auction sale, a comprehensive pack of legal documents is essential. This pack provides potential buyers and their solicitors with critical information, aiding in making an informed decision about bidding on a property. Preparing this information in advance minimizes the chances of a sale collapse and instills confidence in bidders to commit to a purchase.

Typical contents of this pack may include an up-to-date property registry extract (not older than three months), an Energy Performance Certificate, and cadastral (land registry) plans. It should also contain a property management dossier detailing communal charges, forthcoming expenses, insurance for communal areas, and other pertinent details that inform the buyer of their upcoming obligations.

Providing as much detail as possible enhances transparency and empowers all interested parties to bid with confidence.

Starting bids serve merely as indicators and do not represent the actual selling price of the property. Each initial bid is paired with a reserve price, a confidential figure agreed upon by the seller and the auctioneer.
