How do house auctions work?

The auction route was faultless as everyone involved in the process was extremely competent, experienced and easy to deal with. This made what for us was a very anxious first experience of auctions a very smooth sales process. The lower guide price attracted plenty of buyer interest highlighting the potential for buyers to add value and the final sale price received was significantly higher. There is no shortage of 3 bed vacant possession properties for sale in our area on the open market. From our property first being advertised to auction day was 4 weeks and we completed 6 weeks later. Our team included Alex (First for Auctions), Jo (Clifton Ingram solicitors) and George (Northwood Gibbs Gillespie estate agents). We would use them all again without hesitation.
