Auction House is continuing to sell properties during the lockdown for the coronavirus outbreak - at a time when most estate agents and even other property auctioneers have put business on hold.
The group sold more than 150 lots during the first two weeks of the restrictions coming into place – many of them well above their guide prices - by transferring its usual room auction lots to its online operation.
Auction House Founding Director Roger Lake said: “We’ve been thrilled with how successfully our tried and trusted system of selling online has clicked into place. Auctions have either been

He said: “Life may be on hold for many, with very good reasons, but people still need to sell property. Waiting until the crisis is over may simply not be an option for some – and that’s
Hundreds of people tuned in to watch SDL Auctions Graham Penny’s 100th Derby auction – the first in its history to be held behind closed doors.
Instead of celebrating the occasion in front of a crowd of people as hoped, just a few staff members were in attendance as managing director and auctioneer Andrew Parker took to the rostrum in the company’s head office.
