Property auctions
This guide aims to tell you more about the auction process from both a buyer and seller's point of view, and what you can expect:
- Advantages of buying at auction
- Advantages of selling at auction
- Buying: Auction day
- Selling: Auction day
Property auctions have become increasingly popular with both buyers and sellers - whether they're owners, occupiers, developers or investors.
If you're thinking of buying or selling a property at auction, it may be in your interests to make sure the auctioneer is an RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) member.
