A faster route to sale with clearer timescales

If you want a more certain way to sell, auction can be a strong option, especially where speed and commitment matter. Selling at auction gives you a structured process, set timeframes, and a stronger level of buyer commitment, helping reduce the risk of delays and fall-throughs often seen with traditional sales.

Through our partnership with iamsold, Northwood Thorne can guide you through the Modern Method of Auction, helping you understand whether auction is the right approach for your property and circumstances.

When Auction Can Make Sense

Auction can work particularly well when:

• The property is chain free

• Refurbishment is needed

• The sale is investment led

• You want a clearer timeline and added certainty

Buyers commit financially as part of the process, which can provide extra reassurance that the sale will proceed as agreed.

Local Examples of Auction Working Well

The benefits of Auction which include 0% fees for the vendor, a quicker and more secure sale with less chance of falling through make it very appealing to a seller who wants to offload a property without the hassle and time a traditional open market sale can take, two recent examples:-

Burton Ave, Balby – a vacant ex rental being sold by a LL who had previously had difficult tenants wanted to sell quickly and easily. The property was a 2 bed mid terrace in Balby, a popular location for rentals was sold to an investor buyer within 3 weeks £2000 over the asking price

Scawthorpe Avenue, Scawthorpe – a dated 3 bed semi with small kitchen sold for the asking price of 135k within 3 weeks by the family of a deceased estate who didn’t live locally and wanted a guaranteed sale quickly and didn’t want the emotional and physical hardship of dealing with the property.
