Thinking of Selling on Auction?

The process is fast

Once the Auctioneer is commissioned to do the job, the auction generally takes place within thirty (30) days.

Auctions attract qualified buyers

The people at auctions have the means and the desire to purchase the property/business.

Auctions create urgency

A time is set for the auction and buyers compete to win the bid.

Terms and conditions are transparent

The entire process takes place in a public environment.

Your interests are protected

You specify your reserve price.

True value is realised

Interested bidders compete with each other, often resulting in a sale that exceeds your expectations.

The auction process is conclusive

Once the hammer falls, you have two (2) working days (the Confirmation Period) in which to accept the offer, after which the deal is done with the winning bidder.

The final bid amount is the amount you, as the Seller, will get – the winning bidder pays the Auctioneer’s fee, which is 10% over-and-above the final bid amount plus VAT.

Auctions allow you to realise profit on an investment – this way you can move to a larger, or smaller property, make a lifestyle change, or realise the cash flow you need for other business priorities.

How to go about selling on auction
