How it Works…
In terms of how we work, Property Solvers run 2 different types of auction that offer our clients flexibility on the outcome of the sale:
Best Price Auction (56 Day Completion)
(Conditional)
Sometimes referred to as the modern method of auction, this enables you to get an excellent price and find a much more secure buyer compared to an estate agency sale.
With this method, the buyer has 28 days to exchange from when the hammer falls and a further 28 days to complete the transaction.
The buyer still pays the non-refundable exchange fee once the live auction ends that commits them to the sale.
The longer timeframe allows you to get the best price possible through the auction.
Property Listing: We’ll take top-notch photos, produce a floorplan and get your property on Rightmove, Zoopla + many more portals;
Auction Legal Pack: At the same time, we’ll be at hand to help compile all the relevant paperwork;
Viewings / Open Days: We make ourselves available 7 days a week (including evenings)
Bidding: We’ll do all the buyer checks and make sure everything runs smoothly
Non-Refundable Reservation Fee: ties the buyer into the sale
28-Day Exchange: the buyer has more time to organise finances, a survey and must pay a 10% deposit
28-Day Completion: failure to complete means that the buyer could lose the deposit and incur feesQuick Sale Auction (28 Day Completion)
(Unconditional)
The more traditional (and faster) way of selling at auction. With this option, the winning bidder exchanges contract the moment the virtual hammer falls.
The buyer pays the non-refundable reservation fee the moment the auction ends as well as formally exchanges on the sale. The buyer then has 28 days to complete the sale.
If the buyer pulls out they lose the non-refundable fee and potentially also lose their 10% exchange deposit.
We’ll get your property sold much faster than traditional auctions for the optimum price.

The team at Property Solvers has many years of experience in valuing properties of all shapes and sizes.
Using house valuation tools available in the public domain, we’ll start by look at sold property comparables in your local area.
We’ll also apply specific methodologies used by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and run off one of our house valuation reports (produced exclusively using HM Land Registry data).
We can turn this around for you immediately if so required and provide you with a ‘desktop’ property valuation for auction alongside a detailed explanation of our findings.
Guide Price
This price will be based on what we feel the property is worth in its current state. This can be either a single figure or price range (i.e. £X to £X). Much will depend on the level of bidding interest during the auction, demand, the state of the market and other dynamics. As professional auctioneers, our aim is to push the price above this level.
Reserve Price
This is the minimum figure that you would be willing to sell at. The bidding must reach this figure in order for the property to be reserved (and sold). This figure will be agreed before the auction between us and will be kept confidential. If the bidding does not exceed the reserve the property will be left unsold and you have the option to run it through the next auction for free!
Before deciding on a final valuation for the auction we will visit the property to do a full internal inspection.
This will enable us to confirm our suggested price structures for auction and get you the best outcome!
We’re available to do this 7 days a week at a time convenient for you.
Sell Commercial Property and Land
We also sell commercial, mixed-use properties and land through our auctions.
In fact, selling commercial property is arguably performs better at auction compared to using a property agent. This is often because buyers actively check auctions portals such as our own to see what’s available.
Whilst our valuation process is more nuanced than with residential properties, as with any auction sale we undertake, we can get your building or plot listed within very short timeframes and guarantee excellent exposure.
Appreciating the extra complications involved in this type of transaction, we typically extend the time for selling to 6 weeks between exchange and completion.
When getting in touch with us, we would ask that you forward any plans, leases, photos/images, surveys, insurance policies, planning permissions and any other documents that would help assess the property quickly.
Best Exposure for Your Property at Auction
Property Solvers invests heavily into a range of marketing channels to ensure your property gets the very best exposure. This includes:
- Your property on all the major portals including Rightmove, Zoopla, Prime Location and many more (see where we advertise);
- Attractive ‘For Sale’ board with a freephone enquiry line (open 24/7);
- High-quality photos and floorplans;
- Where appropriate, we can also use our 35,000+ strong LinkedIn Property Investors / Developers Group, LinkedIn Company Page and the community we’ve built over many years through The Property Investor Blog;
- Full social media exposure (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram);
- Weekly sales reports;
- Unlimited accompanied viewings (including evenings and weekends);
- Availability 7 days a week to handle buyer enquiries, registrations and any questions you may have.
Auction Legal Pack
The auction legal pack is a set of documents produced by your conveyancer / conveyancing solicitor. These may include:
- The Title Register from HM Land Registry
- Conveyancing Searches
- Special Conditions of Sale
- Property Information Form (TA6)
- Fixture & Contents Form (TA10)
- Leasehold Information (TA7) and Property Enquiries (LPE1) forms
- Tenancy Agreements (if you’re selling a tenanted property)
- Commercial property leases
- Planning and building regulation documentation
Although it’s not compulsory to sell at auction, we usually recommend having these documents prepared to get the best result.
Unlike a normal high street sale with an auction, the buyer is committed when the hammer falls.
They should therefore be fully aware of all legal issues before they bid and financially commit to the sale.
As a seller, you can reassure them by providing a professional and comprehensive legal pack.
It means the buyer will be fully aware of all legal issues before they bid and financially commit to the sale.
We often find that buyers tend to offer lower prices or will not bid if the auction pack isn’t there as they are concerned that there may be something wrong with the property.
Should you be interested, we work with professional in auction specialist lawyers who can offer who can offer you a fast, friendly and cost-effective service.
