Some properties simply don’t suit the traditional market. We specialise in connecting unwanted, difficult-to-sell and slow-moving properties with serious investors, landlords, cash buyers, first-time buyers and general buyers who understand the challenges, recognise the opportunities and see potential where others may not.

Property auctions create a competitive environment where serious buyers are encouraged to put forward their strongest offers. Rather than relying on a single negotiation, multiple buyers compete for the property, allowing genuine market demand to determine its value and giving sellers the best opportunity to achieve the strongest possible price.
No tie-ins, no long-term contract.
You’re free to walk away anytime.

If you have an unwanted property that has become difficult, costly or inconvenient to own, you’re in exactly the right place.
We specialise in properties that don’t always fit the traditional estate agency model, including properties that need work, have unusual circumstances or simply need a different approach to finding the right buyer.

There isn’t one.
There are no upfront fees, no lengthy tie-ins and no risk of paying us if your property doesn’t sell.
If we don’t sell your property, there is no fee to pay.
Contact Henry Sykes on 0800 098 3905 to find out more.
Once contracts are exchanged at auction, the sale becomes legally binding, which makes fall-throughs far less common than with a traditional estate agency sale.
Historically, fewer than 1% of our exchanged sales have fallen through, compared with reported fall-through rates of around 41% for traditional property sales.
Contact Henry Sykes on 0800 098 3905 to find out more.

You can choose to enter the property into another auction or decide to sell elsewhere through another agent.

Completion is usually around 28 days after exchange, although this can vary depending on the agreed terms of the sale.

We specialise in properties that may be more difficult to sell through the traditional estate agency route, including empty, tenanted, unwanted and renovation properties.
Instead of relying solely on individual offers and lengthy negotiations, auction exposes the property to a wide audience of potential buyers who understand the auction process and are prepared to proceed on auction terms.

We manage the process, keep you informed and market your property nationally to serious buyers.

Just some of the properties we have sold.
“Dad’s bungalow had become a burden. It was cluttered, needed work and we didn’t have the time or energy for months of hassle. We understood the market had changed and wanted a fair price, not an unrealistic figure from two years ago. Auction let us sell it as it stood, without clearing or renovating. It sold in under two weeks, and we could finally move on.”
“We had moved away and our old house had become a burden. After renting it out and leaving it on the market for over a year, we were fed up with the hassle. We were unsure about auction, but it sold in eight days for the price we wanted. With Adam handling everything and a legally committed buyer, we finally had certainty and could move on.”
“Our former rental had become tired and we no longer wanted the responsibility. We didn’t want to give it away either. After an offer of £325,000 against an unrealistic £400,000 valuation, auction gave us competing buyers rather than one buyer negotiating us down. We achieved a fair price, secured the sale and finally stopped worrying about the property.”
