After several tyre kickers and eighteen months later we approached Auction House East Anglia (King's Lynn Branch).
When we were at a loss they came to our rescue, Mark Upston was straightforward and honest up front. His perception of what our bungalow would make from Reserve was spot on to the pound. I could not fault Auction House East Anglia (Kings Lynn).
Going to Auction has a reputation a little like going out to sea in a small dingy without a paddle...that is unless you are lucky enough to have been introduced to Auction House East Anglia and have the added benefit of being dealt with by one of the UK's most open, honest, intelligent and instinctive auctioneers - Bryan Baxter. l felt absolutely confident and secure with Mr Baxter's advise and suggestions throughout the entire process. When he finally struck the hammer down, the sale price was way beyond what we had hoped for, illustrating that there was no bigging up of potential, that experience proves to be far more valuable and effective than misleading sales jargon and hyper promises, and that auctions can change life for the better without the arduous relationships and usually over-priced charges of estate agents.
Diana M - March 2021It has been a pleasure to deal with Auction House East Anglia, particularly Mark Willett of their Ipswich office. He has been courteous, friendly and efficient throughout the whole transaction. Highly recommend.
Barbara and Anthony White, May 2022We were initially concerned about a sale by auction, and the risk of 'giving the property away', but Jenny was wonderful, talking us through the process, discussing the reserve price, level of interest and the multiple viewings. She's been very responsive throughout, and our initial concerns were completely unfounded, all been very satisfactory.
Emily, SuffolkA huge thank you, specifcally to Sally, Elaine and my phone bidder Jenny, each of whom pulled out all the professional stops to enable me to participate. The ladies were wonderful, warming and an abslute credit to themselves and the company. Thank you.
Tony MitchellI need to praise you for a well run auction business. Having dealt with other auction houses that set reserves significantly higher than the guide and have little time for their bidders, your relaxed approach without the loss of professionalism was most welcome.
I was really impressed with the service we received by the team at the Auction House. They were incredibly knowledgeable about the market and honoured our wishes as the buyers and also the wishes of the vendors; a hard balance to often strike. For us, the property we bought was a once in a lifetime purchase, which we fell in love with. Their guidance enabled us to secure it not just at the right price but also as a hassle-free experience
C BrownWith that bottle of Champagne now a distant but pleasant memory, it is time I wrote to express how enormously grateful I am to you for your tole in the very successful auctioning of Mum's house on April 11th.
I would like to thank you for your professional guidance and educated advice; having talked me through the process in plain English before I made the commitment to auction, I considered myself well-versed regarding guide prices, maximising bidders, deciding on a reserve price and so on, from the start of the process. The information you provided was realistic and sensible an, with your regular updates and liaising, I felt that, far from playing a peripheral role, my input was valued at every stage.
Of all the new and stressful experiences I faced during the execution of Mum's estate, the one which was potentially the most daunting and problematic was the sale of the house and yet, with you at the helm, it could not have been easier. It is a testament to your skills that I am able to say with complete honesty, that selling by auction was the easiest, smoothest transaction I think I have ever experienced and I will not hesitate for one moment in recommending Auction House and yourself to others in the future.
Dear Jenny, It was really a pleasure doing business with you. We appreciate very much all the help and support you offered us to get the property sold.
M & M, Norwich June 2022I just wanted to thank you again for going the extra mile for me in achieving a sale of my Mother’s cottage today at auction .
From start to finish your customer service and care was first rate. Despite you having less than 24 hours notice to get details of the property into the brochure you still ( kindly) waited for the rain to stop before taking the photographs, in order to do the property justice . Your regular update calls (sometimes in the evenings) were much appreciated and your advice was consistently spot on. Unusually, you did not pass us around either and always answered your phone personally when I called you.
Please pass on our grateful thanks to all involved, as I appreciate that it will probably have been a team effort behind the scenes – albeit a well orchestrated and seamless one . Mum is very happy with the outcome and glad she took your prudent advice .
