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.

What types of auction do they run?
Mark Jenkinson & son run traditional property auctions which are currently held online every 4-6 weeks.
With traditional auctions, a 10% deposit is paid and contracts are exchanged immediately.
The buyer must then complete within the agreed completion period, which tends to be 20 working days.
What happens on auction day?
You will be able to follow the bidding in real time once the auction opens via the online bidding window for each lot. The auction will proceed in lot order and the scheduled end time for each lot is shown on the screen.
Pre-registered bidders can make offers online via desktop, tablet or mobile phone.
If the property reaches the agreed reserve price, then the lot will be sold with an immediate exchange of contracts. The buyer will have to pay a 10% non-refundable deposit.
What happens if your property doesn't sell at auction?
If the property fails to sell at auction, Mark Jenkinson & son will try and agree a sale with any interested parties immediately after the auction.

Mark Jenkinson & son also offer aerial photographs, individual colour brochures, floor plans and specific advertising in publications such as the Estates Gazette or Property Week at an additional cost.
The advertising process is carried out over a period of 3-4 weeks prior to the auction date to ensure your lot is visible and available to all potential buyers.
How do they get property photos?
A member of the auction team will attend the property to take photos, or you can ask to use your own photos.
Will your listings include a floor plan and video walkthrough?
Video tours and floor plans are not included standard but can be arranged.
A member of the auction team will carry out viewings on your behalf. Each property is different, but they will usually arrange open viewings and one to one viewings where appropriate and depending on the demand.

A member of the auction team will either meet you at the property to carry out the valuation or carry out a desktop valuation, depending on the nature of the property.
