House Auctions

Selling a house at auction

There are loads of articles online discussing how to sell a house at auction. But there are very few that will tell you whether or not you actually should.

Selling a house at auction might be perfect for you, but if you’re not in a rush to sell, you could get a lot more by being patient and selling through an estate agent on the open market. Similarly, if speed is of the essence, say to avoid repossession, to get moving sooner, or just to get your hands on that inheritance, then you could get almost as much as you would at auction, but a great deal quicker, by using a cash buyer.

In this article, we’ll lay out the pros and cons of selling your house at auction and see how they compare to your other options. It might not be as detailed as some other pieces, but it will make a lot more sense, and it will help you to make the best choice for you and your property.

No wonder as many as one in five landlords have had enough and are looking to sell up and cash in on recent property price rises.
