Is auction right for you?

When the sale room is right for you

Auction is not for every sale. But when these matter, nothing beats the room.

  • A date you can bank on

    Binding on the hammer, completion in around a month.

  • No chain, no cold feet

    The winning bid is unconditional.

  • Built for tricky homes

    Probate, tenanted or unmodernised: its home turf.

  • Competition lifts the price

    Bidders push past the guide, sometimes well past.
