How Does it Work?

If you’re not receiving any offers on a property or the offers you’re receiving are below your client’s expectations, then selling at auction could be the answer.

The Auction Advantage

As the UK's leading property auctioneer, Allsop brings a strategic approach to every sale. We assess a property’s alternative uses and recommend a competitive guide price that maximises interest.

Marketing to our extensive commercial and residential auction databases of property investors and developers helps drive competitive tension and, in many cases, pushes offers higher than previously achieved.

Our Partnership Approach

The agreed fee is split equally between our firms. Allsop manages the instruction, solicitors and marketing. We provide regular updates to both you and your client throughout the campaign leading up to auction day.

Direct to Auction

If your client wants to go straight to auction, with no previous private treaty marketing campaign, the same fee structure applies. In this scenario, Allsop and Christie & Co work as joint agents from the outset, often extending the marketing period to 5-6 weeks rather than the standard 3-week lead-in. This longer campaign can enhance exposure and competition.

Additional Costs to the Client

Legal Fees

Your client will need to instruct their solicitor to prepare the legal pack and order searches before marketing commences.
