What Auction Buyers Can Expect
Auction catalogues are usually released just weeks before the sale, meaning preparation is key. Guide prices can change, and the most attractive lots often spark strong competition. To succeed:
- Do your research early — review the legal pack, visit the property if possible, and consult a solicitor.
- Arrange your finances — deposits (usually 10%) are required immediately, with completion in 28 days.
- Stay organised — with so many lots across different auction houses, keeping track helps you act fast when the right property comes along.
Our Buying at Auction guide provides tips and insights to help you gen up on the auction buying process. It's also worth checking our our Benefits of Buying guide and what happens both prior to auction and on the auction day itself. Preparation is the key to success!
Why Sellers Choose Auctions in Birmingham
For sellers, auctions offer speed, certainty, and access to motivated buyers. They are especially effective for unique properties, land, or homes needing modernisation, but any type of property can sell successfully under the hammer. With competitive bidding, it’s not unusual for properties to achieve more than their guide price, and completion times are typically much faster than private treaty sales.
