Selling - 6 easy steps to selling on a live bidding platform
1. Price This will be set in conjunction with the estate agent.
2. Preparation Your estate agent will prepare all property details, take photographs and arrange the EPC if required.
3. Legal We will put you in touch with our recommended legal team to prepare your Auction Pack. This is priced at £450 inc VAT and is only payable upon completion of the sale.
4. Marketing The Estate Agents will begin to advertise your property to generate the maximum level of exposure and interest.

6. Sold Once the process ends, a 2.5% non-refundable reservation fee (minimum £4,000) is taken from the successful bidder and you have 42 days to complete the sale.
