Auction Selling Fees Explained | First for Auctions

Simplifying seller fees

When selling at auction, you can expect to pay fees. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect at First for Auctions.

Entry fee: The entry fee covers the cost of marketing your property. At First for Auctions, we maximise the properties' exposure through traditional and digital marketing. This non-refundable fee covers expert marketing and listing on leading platforms.
Auctioneer’s commission: Commission is agreed at a percentage of the sale price plus VAT as agreed with the auctioneer. This fee is only payable if your property sells.
Legal pack: At First for Auctions, we commission and pay for the searches to reduce delays. We then recover the cost from the eventual buyer, so there are no up-front costs for the seller.
