What is the difference between traditional and modern method of auction?

Traditional auction requires exchange of contracts on the day with a 10% deposit, with completion typically within 28 days. The sale is legally binding immediately on the fall of the hammer. Modern method of auction (also called conditional auction) requires the buyer to pay a reservation fee and exchange within 28 days, with completion in a further 28 days — giving buyers more time to arrange finance. Modern method attracts more buyers but the sale is not immediately binding.

How much does it cost to sell at auction?

Auction fees for sellers vary. Some auctioneers charge an entry fee (£200 to £500), others charge a success fee of 1.5% to 2.5% plus VAT on the sale price. With the modern method, fees are often charged to the buyer rather than the seller. Always confirm the full fee structure before instructing an auctioneer, and ensure your reserve price accounts for any seller-side costs.

Property Auction in North Wembley: Common Questions

Auction works particularly well for properties that benefit from competitive bidding or that are difficult to sell conventionally: renovation projects where buyer appeal is niche, properties with short leases, those with structural issues or unusual features, repossessions, probate properties, and tenanted investments. Well-presented family homes in good condition typically achieve higher prices through a traditional sale.

What Our Clients Are Saying

“I needed to sell quickly after a divorce and couldn't face months on the market. The cash buyer they matched me with was professional, completed in 28 days, and the offer was far better than I expected. No estate agent fees either — it made a real difference.”

Anita P

Stanmore · Quick Cash Sale

“I'd had my Pinner semi on with one agent for four months with barely any viewings. The agent they matched me with repriced it correctly, relaunched with better photos, and I had an offer accepted within three weeks. Should have switched sooner.”
