We break performance into 3 key parts: Market Share, Succes Rate, and Customer Satisfaction.
Market Share
Tip: When you’re deciding which auction house to sell with, a larger market share can mean a safer bet.
Don't rule out smaller auction houses though. Your experience with a company ultimately comes down to the person you deal with there, rather than the size of the company. Read more here.
Success Rate
Tip: A higher success rate usually means an auction house is more realistic with their valuations, are less likely to take on customers with unrealistic expectations, and may be more efficient at generating interest and bids from buyers.
Reviews
Tip: Review scores are important to consider, but it’s important know what customers are actually saying as well. We outline the overall themes of their reviews further down this page.

Good things people say (Pros)
What can be improved (Cons)
What types of auction do they run?
Auction Estates Ltd run traditional property auctions which take place every couple of months at the Nottingham Racecourse. Potential buyers can either attend the auction event, or place bids remotely online, by phone or proxy.
With traditional auctions, a 10% deposit is paid and contracts are exchanged immediately, with completion 28 days later.
What happens on auction day?
You can either attend the auction or a member of the team will call and tell you the outcome shortly after the auction has been held.
If the property reaches the agreed reserve price, then the lot will be sold with an immediate exchange of contracts and the buyer will have to pay a 10% deposit with completion usually taking place around 21-28 days after the auction.
What happens if your property doesn't sell at auction?
If the property fails to sell at auction, then a sale can be agreed soon after the auction finishes.
There is also an option to re-enter the lot at the next available auction for a second chance. You will not have to pay a second entry fee.
