Dilemma
“Dilemma – private sale or auction? Sound advice all through the process and ended up with a few thousand more in my pocket as a result. Smooth process, all viewings handled and a great outcome – thanks.”

Responsive and Easy to Deal With
As part of our Estates Rationalisation programme we identified the need to dispose of 2 properties during 2014 within the Walsall area. Both properties had had various internal structural works to convert from a residential property to office accommodation, making them prime for sale by auction.
All in all the service and support has been made available and as a company they are responsive and easy to deal with and communicate at every stage, including liasing directly with the Trust solicitors to respond to any legal queries.
Due to this being the first of rationalisation sales I attended the auction as an interested party. The auction was very well attended and managed, with standing room only. Both properties received a lot of interest on the night and both exceeded the reserve price. Whilst there were delays in the sale of one of the properties, both sales were managed via Chris and his team to a successful conclusion. From a Trust perspective the sales fulfilled a number of criteria as did the service, mainly providing a value for money service.
The transaction and communication was professional throughout to the point that having identified through a continual review of the estate a further 2 properties have been identified as surplus and meet the criteria above, that Auction House have been appointed to dispose of the assets via auction on behalf of the Trust.

Delighted
We were delighted with the advice and professional service provided by Chris and the team. We sold parcels of land and void properties for prices above our expectations and would certainly recommend any other institutions to use them.

No Complications
“Sale by public auction was recommended and the property was successfully sold within the guide price. Throughout the whole process the service provided was professional and efficient. All staff were courteous and approachable. There was no complications, everything went through smoothly. I would certainly use this firm again and would recommend them to any prospective buyer.”

Thank you
Just like to thank you for your efforts at the auction last night. Hopefully we will not hit any more snags and the sale finally goes through. Perhaps we should have done this months ago!

Best Advice
“Chris gave us the best advice as how to sell the property which was by auction. The guide price was spot on and everything went through with no problems. I will be using their service again within the next two years.”

Kept well informed
“I was very impressed with the thorough way this firm carried out my business. I was kept informed of every stage of the auction process that they carried out on my behalf. This resulted in me getting a price for the property considerably in excess of the guide price in a deflated market."

No Fuss
As part of our void sale scheme we wanted to dispose of 3 properties within the Burntwood and Rugeley areas. 2 of the properties had suspect structural issues and the other was in a very dilapidated condition, making them prime for sale by auction.
Chris attended the properties with me within 24 hours of making contact with the office and provided prompt valuations. We agreed the terms and conditions without fuss and I was kept up to date by the marketing agent and Chris with regards to interest levels and offers.
We paid Auction House to take care of the signing of the contracts, so on the day of the auction all I had to do was log in and see how the result had gone. Fortunately all 3 properties sold on the night. 2 properties only met the reserve, but these were the structural defective ones and the other achieved £20,000 over the Guide Price which was a great result.
The transaction and communication was professional throughout and should we get any further stock suitable for auction, we wouldn't hesitate to use Auction House again.

Thank You
Just a quick note to show my appreciation for your time and efforts on Port Street and Warwick Road. Both were very difficult properties to market and sell, and you and your team did a sterling job.
I hope to be able to send a few more instructions your way in the near future.
Thanks again,
Vanessa (Associate Development) at Savills
