AUCTION / LOCK & KEY
Another way to sell.
Explore auction through our partner iamsold, with local guidance from Lock & Key and a team open seven days a week.
Is auction right for your property?
We explain the proposed method, marketing, preparation and written terms so you can consider auction alongside a conventional sale. Our property marketing includes professional photography, a floor plan and a 360° virtual tour.
We work with our auction partner iamsold. Your solicitor can review the auction terms and legal pack before you commit.
Key points to understand
- Agree a minimum reserve price before bidding.
- A guide price is not a promise of the final sale price.
- The auction method determines bidding, reservation or contract stages and the timetable.
- Fees and legal pack costs depend on the written auction agreement.
