It is a truth universally acknowledged that, when you are buying a property, the price is too high, but when you are selling, the price is too low. However, on this occasion, Auction House was the voice of reason, and we achieved a compromise. The agents worked very hard showing the property, and the sellers are pleased with the result. The buyers are 'delighted' and it is good that the cottage will soon be in new hands. Thank you Jenny and your team
Mr & Mrs S, Thurton, May 2021I 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 .
After the disappointment and headache of my mother in laws house sale collapsing at the last hurdle, it was suggest that auction maybe the route and the recommendation to go with yourselves has paid us very kindly !
I cannot fault the customer service, attention to detail and advice from Gary Davison and the team. For someone who has never sold through auction it seemed a bit daunting but we had nothing to fear. The guidance and walking us through the process was second to none. Gary went above and beyond to facilitate our auction lot as we live nearly 3 hours away. I can not fault the service we have received at all. Thank you for everyone’s efforts !!!
On behalf of everyone at Ormiston Herman Academy, I would like to sincerely thank you for giving time to support our #IWill Auction.
We were delighted to have raised such a considerable amount of money and without doubt, your professionalism as an auctioneer was significant in enabling the event to be so successful.
Today was the first time we had organised an auction and many parents commented on how much they had enjoyed the experience and were even asking when we were holding the next one!
Auction House East Anglia sorted out a sale in 24 hrs where others took 6 months and failed. Thank you very much, your service was fantastic and I am truly grateful
Simon Mosedale, SellerI am very satisfied with the professional way that Auction House sold my parents property. Being kept informed of progress throughout was much appreciated. The first visit to the property was made by Jenny Austen who briefed me on the whole process and kept in touch with me throughout.
I recommend Auction House for all your property selling needs.
I must thank you for the sound advice and guidance given in the marketing of the property. The response on viewing days was tremendous as was the turnout for the King's Lynn Auction which resulted in vigorous bidding and from the guide price of £60,000 to £80,000, £112,250 was achieved.
Well done to the Auction House team and if asked I would not hesitate to recommend your services
I 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.
We 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, SuffolkWith 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.
