The Benefits Of Auctioning A Property

Zero-Fees

Opting for a property auction means you have the option to sell for 0%* sales fee.

*Buyers’ fees apply.

Secured Interest From Dedicated & Committed Buyers

A 10% deposit is required immediately from any successful bidder, with the remaining 90% balance transferred upon completion, which means less time wasted and guaranteed peace of mind for you, the seller.

Control Over Property Value

You set the reserve price, giving you control over the sales price.

Competitive bidding

In some cases, a property auction can see final bids far exceed your asking price. Expert guidance and advice from the Auction Department at Shortland Horne will help ensure you set a realistic reserve price to encourage competitive bidding, resulting in sellers getting the maximum price for their property.

Fast, Simple & Problem-Free Completion

House actions have the potential to provide sellers with a fast, simple and stress-free option. After all, once a successful, winning bid has been placed, an exchange and completion date will be decided.

The Types Of Auction

At Shortland Horne, we are driven by the needs of our clients. We are committed to delivering a flexible auction service, shaped entirely around your ambitions and requirements. The two main types of property auctions we can support you with are:

Online Auctions

Online property auctions give sellers complete flexibility, enabling them to set a timescale determined by their individual circumstances. They can start on any preferred day and run for as long as required.

Live In-Room Auctions

Live in-room property auctions take place on a certain day at a specific site, with the successful bidder securing the sale immediately. At Shortland Horne, our experienced team hold over 40 house auctions up-and-down the country every year, so if you feel this is the route you would like to explore, get in touch.

Prior to the auction, we will market your property in the usual ways, including advertising via a ‘for sale’ board, as well as listing on Rightmove and our website. Your property will also be promoted via our trusted database of partners, giving you the chance to reach a much wider audience.

Don't Just Take Our Word For It

All the staff members, particularly Will and Laura, were helpful, considerate and very experienced they couldn’t be more helpful and straightforward I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to sell their home.

Martin Harban

Having recently gone through the sale process with Shortland Horne I would firstly like to thank you for a truly professional job from the moment I asked you to take over from Purple Bricks to completion. It was a bad decision thinking that the house would just sell without it being marketed properly and that’s what happened the house was just sat there on the internet being clicked at but no viewings. Once Will and the team got involved we had viewings booked in and sold immediately cracking job and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Paul Twaites

First class professional service from all concerned with letting my property. From the marketing to the swift letting of my property. We were initially attracted to how Shortland Horne market properties and they did not disappoint! The marketing was a cut above the rest and they took time in showing off the unique features our property has. I would highly recommend Shortland Horne to any Landlord.

Carolyn Furby

I've been working with Aaron and Shortland Horne for around 6 months now. Letting various residential properties for us. We have listed 6 properties in this time and all went in a matter of weeks at the prices Aaron recommended. I find the team to be professional and work in a timely manner and happy to go the extra yard on things for you. Most importantly they don't cut corners which gives me peace of mind.
