Auction

Property auctions have in recent years become increasingly popular with both buyers and sellers whether they are owner occupiers, developers or investors. Auction can be seen as an alternative to the conventional private treaty sales route and has the advantage of reducing the marketing period.

If you are thinking of selling a property by auction it is in your interest to make sure the auctioneer is an RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) member. The advantages of selling at auction are:-

• Certainty – Properties are not sold subject to contract in the same as by private treaty and the successful bidder is legally obliged to complete the sale once the gavel falls.
• Good market exposure – We advertise extensively locally, regionally and where required nationally and are a recognised local auctioneer.
• With a set guide price and agreed reserve your property should be able to achieve the best possible market price.
• Speed – Completion normally takes place within 28 days of the auction and marketing periods are generally 6 to 8 weeks prior to the auction date.
• Bramleys hold 5 residential and commercial property auctions per year and publish an annual auction program at the beginning of each year. Auctions are held centrally at the Galpharm Stadium, Leeds Road, Huddersfield which is accessible to all main arterial routes and has good car parking. The room is capable of accommodating in excess of 200 potential bidders.
