Buying at auction: The benefits

Efficient. Transparent. Certain.

There are many good reasons for buying property at auction.

Buying a house at auction is transparent. You can see bids in real time. This means you always know how much to bid. The traditional route can be frustrating – you don’t see what other buyers have offered, and you can be gazumped at the last minute.
Unlike traditional sales, buying at auction offers greater certainty because contracts are exchanged on the day of the auction.
Completion usually takes 4-6 weeks. Within a month, you’ll have the keys to your new home in your hand.

Follow our 8-step process so you know exactly what to expect before you decide to buy at auction. Buying auction property is simple with First for Auctions.

Thank You to Gareth Bell at First For Auctions, for all the hard work that was put in to meet the tight time lines that selling via the home auction process has involved. He made the whole unfamiliar home auction selling process as easy as possible, was happy to spend time answering my many questions and I always felt in safe hands!

Today

I have sold property by auction before but this was the first time using First for Auctions. I was explained the process by Daniel clearly so was aware of the costs etc and how it all worked. The advice I received from Daniel was excellent from pitching the initial price and managing expectations. In the end we sold the property for more than we expected so that was an added bonus.
