Three Auctions, Three Regions, Three Weeks

Published: 16/03/2026 By Meredith Wallis

Such is the demand for selling property at auction, Symonds & Sampson have added extra auction dates to their already busy 2026 schedule. In response to a supply of all types of property across the region, three sales this Spring offer exciting opportunities for sellers and buyers in Dorset, Somerset, Devon, Wiltshire, Hampshire, Cornwall and beyond.

There are auctions, and there are auctions, as Auction Partner, Meredith Wallis explains. “Symonds & Sampson offer the unconditional method of sale, in which contracts are exchanged on the fall of the hammer. Auctions might have been the favoured method of sale for run-down properties, but not anymore. The fast and efficient is favoured by sellers of residential, commercial, development property and farms and land.

“Intensive marketing during the run-up to the auction ensures the properties reach the widest audience, whilst comprehensive legal packs can be viewed by prospective purchasers before the sale. Combined, auction is the proven fast and efficient way to buy and sell, and as the leading firm of Auctioneers in the region for nearly twenty years, Symonds & Sampson have the knowledge, expertise and experience to ensure that your auction experience is rewarding.”

The auctions take place on:
