Q & A
How many auctions are held each year?
...The number of auctions each auctioneer holds each year varies from auctioneer to auctioneer, as does the number of properties available at each sale. Last year over 32,000 properties were offered at auction.
Do you update the Auctions information in the Member section regulary?
Yes, every day.- Our sophisticated database of auctions is updated daily to keep you fully informed.Time is of the essence when buying property at auction, Our database is updated daily to provide property information as soon as it becomes available.
Where can I get reliable property information?
Either by ordering catalogues from each individual auctioneer (Many will charge for this) or join Government-auction which assists both the experienced and the novice investor to locate properties available at UK auction houses.As property investors ourselves we recognise that obtaining accurate property information, promptly is the key to locating the best properties.
Can I really find and buy houses so cheaply?
Yes. Most certainly.-Houses that need very little work are generally the most sought after at auctions and therefore could command a slightly higher price. However, a huge amount of properties in need of modernisation, renovation or simply repossessions are available. The list is endless! Whatever type of property you can think of will at some time come up for sale at auction.
I am only looking to buy a property locally, do I only need my local auctioneers catalogues for all of the houses in my area?
Afraid Not Some of the larger auctioneers sell properties in all areas of the UK, so for example, a house for sale in the West Midlands, Wales or Yorkshire could in fact be being sold by an auctioneer in London!!We solve this problem by providing a County,Town and post code search so that you can find properties at all sales, not just local sales.
