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?
Taylor James Auctions run online traditional property auctions which tend to run every 5 to 6 weeks.
With traditional auctions, a non-refundable 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?
The auction will be held online, where you will be able to see the number of people viewing your property and watch the bidding unfold in real time.
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% deposit immediately and must complete within the agreed completion period (which is usually 20 working days).
What happens if your property doesn't sell at auction?
If the property fails to sell at auction your contract will automatically extend for an additional 4 weeks. During this time, Taylor James Auctions will try and tie up a post-auction sale for you.
You can also enter the lot into the next available auction at no additional cost.
If the property is still unsold after those 4 weeks, you’re released from the contract and can move on.
Commission will be payable to Taylor James Auctions if the lot is sold by any means from the date of signing the contract up until the expiry of 4 weeks following the auction, or where a buyer has been introduced to you by Taylor James Auctions during the exclusivity period.

Taylor James Auctions will advertise your property in their full colour catalogue, as well as Rightmove, Zoopla and other dedicated property websites and auction portals.
Taylor James Auctions will also send your property details to their email database of over 20,000 buyers.
The advertising process is carried out over a period of 3 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 viewing agent will visit the property and take photographs.
Will your listings include a floor plan and video walkthrough?
Video tours and floor plans are not included as standard, but a video tour can be arranged if required.
A viewing agent will carry out viewings on your behalf. They carry out open viewings and display viewing dates and times on their website for each lot.
We're adding more information all the time. Check back soon, or contact us right now for advice. Hit one of those big buttons to get started.
A member of the auction team will carry out a desktop appraisal to work out the market value of your property.
They will then work with you to come up with a reserve price that you are happy with, and you can then decide whether you’d like to move forward.
The contract runs up until the auction date (usually around 4-6 weeks away). It extends for an additional 4 weeks if the property fails to sell.
