Selling at Auction
Our regular collective property auctions are a successful way to sell residential, agricultural, commercial and development property and land
About Selling at Auction
Symonds & Sampson have been selling property by auction since 1858. As the leading firm of auctioneers in our region for over 20 years, we are widely regarded as the market leaders in the sale of residential, commercial, agricultural and development land in the South of England.
Over 90% success rate at auction
Preparation is key to successfully selling at auction. Our dedicated experts are highly experienced and will guide clients through the auction process and achieve the best results.
At the outset, it is important to engage a solicitor and prepare a comprehensive legal pack before the auction. This is available to interested parties, who can then complete all due diligence before the auction. On the fall of the gavel, contracts are exchanged, with completion usually 28 days later.
Teamwork
Our auction department works as one with agents from all departments within the firm, leveraging an enviable resource of property expertise. We will recommend a guide price, reserve, and fully explain the auction process leading up to, during, and after the auction day. The advice we provide to clients is always impartial, professional, and carefully considered, with the aim of achieving the best possible result.Forthcoming Auctions
