A Smarter Way to Sell Property
Auction can provide sellers with a clear sales process, committed buyers and defined contractual timescales. We review the property, assess local market evidence and recommend a guide and reserve strategy designed to generate interest while protecting the seller's position.
A Defined Sales Process
Auction gives sellers a structured route from appraisal and marketing through to bidding, exchange and completion.
Serious and Committed Buyers
Auction attracts investors, landlords, developers and owner-occupiers who understand the auction buying process.
Competitive Bidding
Where there is strong buyer interest, competitive bidding can help establish the best price available on auction day.
Greater Certainty at Exchange
In a traditional unconditional auction, contracts normally exchange when the successful bid is accepted, subject to the auction terms and legal pack.
Fixed Completion Timetable
Completion normally takes place within the timescale stated in the auction contract, commonly around 20 working days for unconditional auctions, unless the legal documents specify otherwise.
Suitable for Difficult Properties
Auction can be particularly effective for properties requiring refurbishment, inherited homes, tenanted investments, vacant properties and unmortgageable buildings.
Transparent Buyer Competition
Interested buyers can bid against each other within a clear, visible auction process.
National Investor Exposure
Properties can be marketed to auction buyers, investors, landlords and developers well beyond the immediate local area.
Every property is different. Auction suitability, pricing and likely timescales will be discussed following an initial property review. Auction does not guarantee a sale.
Know an Empty Property?
Your Referral Could Be Worth £500 or More
Empty properties can create problems for owners, neighbours and local communities. Hidden Homes Group works to identify suitable empty homes and connect with owners who may need help deciding what to do next.
If you refer an empty property and our involvement results in a qualifying completed transaction, you could receive a referral payment starting from £500.
01
Send Us the Property Details
Provide the address, location or any information you have about the property.
02
We Investigate
Our team reviews the information and attempts to identify and contact the property owner.
03
Receive Your Referral Payment
If the referral meets the scheme terms and results in a qualifying completed transaction, the agreed referral payment is made.
Referral payments are subject to the Hidden Homes Group referral scheme terms and only become payable following a qualifying completed transaction. Providing an address alone does not automatically create entitlement to a payment.
Is Auction Right for Your Property?
Auction may be worth exploring for a wide range of property types, circumstances and seller requirements.
Inherited & Probate Properties
Properties passing through an estate where a clear, managed sale process can help all parties.
Empty Homes
Vacant properties that are sitting unsold or deteriorating benefit from a structured approach.
Properties Requiring Renovation
Investors and developers actively seek renovation opportunities through auction.
Tenanted Properties
Landlord exits involving tenanted properties can be well suited to the auction environment.
Landlord Portfolio Sales
Selling a portfolio or individual investment property through a structured process.
Unmortgageable Properties
Properties that cannot be financed conventionally may attract specialist buyers through auction.
Short-Lease Properties
Properties with short unexpired leases can still find buyers through appropriate auction channels.
Land & Development Opportunities
Development land, plots and sites with planning potential.
Commercial & Mixed-Use
Commercial premises, mixed-use buildings and investment stock.
Properties Stuck on the Market
Properties that have failed to sell on the open market may benefit from a different approach.
Sellers Needing a Defined Timetable
Where a clear sales timetable is important, auction provides a structured route.
Unusual Construction or Legal Complexity
Properties with unusual construction, legal complications or specialist buyer requirements.
How We Help You Sell Through Auction
A clear, structured process from your first conversation to completion.
1
Property Discussion
Complete the enquiry form or contact Hidden Homes Group directly. We will arrange a conversation to understand the property and your circumstances.
2
Auction Appraisal
We review the property, its condition, location, comparable evidence and the likely level of auction buyer demand.
3
Pricing and Reserve Strategy
We discuss a realistic guide price and reserve strategy designed to attract buyer interest while protecting your agreed minimum position.
4
Legal Pack Preparation
You appoint a solicitor to prepare the legal pack required for auction. Delays in supplying legal documents can delay or prevent marketing.
5
Marketing
The property is presented to potential buyers through the relevant auction marketing channels.
6
Viewings and Buyer Enquiries
Interested parties review the property and legal information and may attend viewings prior to the auction.
7
Bidding
Qualified buyers bid during the auction process, subject to the auction terms and the agreed reserve price.
8
Sale and Completion
Where the reserve is met and a bid is accepted, the transaction proceeds under the auction contract and stated completion timetable.
What is a Guide Price?
The guide price is used to generate buyer interest and indicates the expected bidding region. It is not necessarily the final sale price, and the property may sell above or below the guide depending on buyer demand on the day.
What is a Reserve Price?
The reserve is the minimum price at which the property can be sold at auction. It is agreed with the seller before the auction and is not normally publicly displayed. The property should not sell below the reserve unless the seller subsequently agrees otherwise.
