Selling Your Home Through Auction
Overview
Considering auctioning your home? While some homeowners prefer to show potential buyers around themselves, statistics reveal that houses shown by agents tend to sell faster.
Key Points
- Agent Negotiations: You can negotiate the commission rate with your agent, typically ranging from 1-3%. Additionally, research the sale prices of similar properties in your area for better insights.
- Market Conditions: In a slower market, the condition of your home can significantly impact the sale price. In a faster market, quick sales and competitive pricing are often prioritized, but maintaining cleanliness and tidiness remains essential.
- Pre-Auction Sales: Some properties sell before the auction itself. If you’re open to pre-auction offers, communicate this to your auctioneer for a potential quick sale.
Considerations for Auction
- Is your house unique?
- Is there strong rental demand in your area?
- Are you pricing it for a quick sale?
- Does it have any issues, like a short lease?
- Will it attract first-time buyers?
- Does it offer development potential or need work?
Important Tips
- Read the Fine Print: Have your solicitor check the auction terms to avoid restrictive clauses and potential overlap in agent contracts, which could double your fees.
- Location Matters: A prime location can spark a bidding war. Properties in desirable areas, or those with development potential, have a competitive edge.
Why Choose Auction?
Selling through auction provides access to a broad range of potential buyers. The sale period is clearly defined at 28 days or less. Auctioneers will advise if your home is suitable for auction.
Legal Obligations
Ensure all property details are accurate in both the description and auction catalog. Inaccuracies could lead the buyer to withdraw and reclaim their deposit. Use a solicitor familiar with auction processes to guide you.
Pricing Strategy
Align your pricing with the auctioneer’s recommendations and set a comfortable reserve price. A low starting price can ignite an exciting bidding process.
Final Thoughts
With the right property, careful attention to paperwork, and realistic pricing, selling at auction can be straightforward. Consider partnering with a reputable auction house, either in London or locally, to attract eager buyers.
