AUCTION HOUSE ESTABLISHED

SINCE 1977

dedicated to achieving the best possible results

I was stuck with a really bad agency. I decided to put my property in auction. Smart Auction UK were listening and attentive without being too pushy. I don’t need to chase anything which was almost impossible before. I could give more than 5 stars and go on how these people are amazing if i could.

Thank you ❤️

I approached Smart Auction UK to sell my property due to my previous estate agents lack of professionalism and communication. I’ve never sold a house before so i didn’t really have any idea how the process would work, They explained the full process and got to work. There was no fees from start to finish. Their attention to detail and communication skills with all parties was what got my sale completed in the time frame needed. I highly recommend Smart Auction UK to sell your property.

I needed a quick and secure sale for my property, but also needed as much as i could get. I found Smart Auction UK online and was really pleased to get just over what i needed for my property. Communication and service was 10/10 and would highly recommend using these guys in future if needed..! Thank you from a happy customer!

From explanation of the operating model, through to photography and prep of the online brochure, viewings, bidding, and liaising with buyer and legal teams communication was clear, precise and prompt.

 

We had a hassle free sale.

The alternative way of buying and selling

  • How does auction work?

    A reserve price is set for your property, and it is placed online on a lower starting bid to attract attention. Prior to placing your property on auction, your solicitor needs to complete a legal pack for the property to sell at auction. The auction cycle is for 28 days, with its individual running countdown and fixed end date.


    Once people bid, they are financially obligated to purchase the property. When the auction cycle ends, your property is sold to the highest bidder over reserve price. If reserve price has not been reached, you are not obligated to sell, and we will put your property on another auction cycle.


    When the auction cycle ends, the buyer pays the reservation fee and deposit straight away. We pass their details to your solicitors so they can exchange contracts straight away and finalise the transaction in 28 if sold unconditionally or 56 days if sold conditionally.

  • Will I have to agree to a lower price at auction?

    Absolutely not. Together we agree on a reserve price that you are happy with, the property will not sell for less than this, even when the auction cycle ends.


    We set a lower starting bid to generate interest in the property, and that steadily goes higher as the bids start coming in.


    Often, you can get more money by selling at auction, as no one knows the secret reserve price and they continue bidding higher and higher. Over 80% of our properties sell for over reserve price.

  • What are the benefits of selling a property at auction?

    It is fast, secure and you will get the most money in this way.


    Fast – we can sell your property in 28 days or less.


    Our auction cycle runs for 28 days, however if you receive a bid you are happy with, then we can end the auction early and sell the property to that bidder.


    Secure– when the auction cycle ends and the hammer goes down, the buyer pays the reservation fee and non-refundable deposit, and exchanges legal contracts straight away. The buyer is financially invested and so is highly unlikely to back out. You also have the security that we will not sell your property below the set reserve price.


    Maximum price - your property will be advertised with a lower starting bid which is more appealing than a traditional asking price. A more attractive starting bid leads to more viewings and interest; this equates to more offers and ensures you achieve the best price in the current market. Your property will be advertised in our auction catalogue, which is sent to an extensive mailing list, it will also be advertised by partner agents both locally and nationally as well as on the auction website, for maximum exposure.

  • How much does it cost to sell my property at auction?

    This service is free for sellers. There are no hidden charges or fees.


    Our fees are paid by the buyer, so you can rest assured that you will not pay a penny to us. You will only have to cover solicitor costs, as per any house sale. We also don’t cover the costs of an EPC (if you require one), and in Scotland, the Home Report is not included.

  • Could my sale fall through?

    With us, fewer than 1% of sales fall through compared to a fall through rate of 30% with estate agents.


    Once the auction cycle ends and the hammer goes down, the buyer pays the reservation fee and deposit straight away, which means they hardly ever drop out of the purchase.



We created our Secure Sale Solution to eliminate these traditional pitfalls, which quickly exchanges your property for the maximum price in today’s market and 0% Sales Fee. Our Secure Sale Department has over 30 years of experience selling property across the UK, accumulating over 6.5 million page views per year via our Online Bidding Platform. Along with instant property feeds to all leading property portals, we guarantee your property receives maximum exposure to attract as many potential buyers as possible.


Our experienced team will oversee the transaction right through to completion. At the same time, you remain in control of any significant decisions, ensuring you feel supported at every step of your property journey. Secure Sale properties come in all shapes, styles, and values. It’s a common misconception that only run-down and distressed properties sell at secure sale; however, this is not the case.

It costs Nothing to sell your Tenanted Property

Don't Sell With A

"Typical" Estate Agent


Estate Agents sell homes, not investments. 

They generally put your property on a standard production line system which targets residential property buyers.


Going with this route often results in you having to evict your tenant which can take over 6 months. 


Evicting your tenant costs the average landlord £2,000 and landlords report spending £6,000+ on refurbishment and selling costs with a high street estate agent.


Selling in our auction to another investor means you don’t have to pay any fees to us and you can sell your property much faster.


Sell Your Property In Auction

Investors around the world are constantly looking to buy tenanted properties like yours in our auction.

They can earn an immediate income from your tenanted property and they are happy to keep the current tenant in place.


Selling your property to an investor means that you don’t need to go through a lengthy eviction process.


Because you’re selling an “investment property”, you also save thousands of pounds in selling costs because the buyer pays all the fees too!
