How do our auctions work?

In order to bid for an auction you need to create an account through our online platform here. You then register for each sale separately which is an easy process once you have an account. Each auction has an end date / time specified.

If you are successful in buying a lot, once the auction has ended, you will receive an email with your invoice attached advising the next steps but once payment has been made, a collection note will be issued and you will be asked to book a collection appointment on the specified clearance dates.

choose us

Sale by tender

Specialist assets in a limited market may be suitable for a tender sale. This is a type of auction where an asset is sold with a deadline date for bids. Interested parties have until that date to submit their best offer, without having seen anyone else’s bidding activity. Using the tender sale method may be best suited for those seeking to obtain a minimum price in a set timescale; it gives you an indication of what the market is willing to offer for assets.

Negotiated sales

For niche, complex or high value assets (where markets and buyers are limited) our expert negotiators have the market insight to sell your asset at the highest possible price, We will reach out to our database of buyers and research potentially interested bidders using business based social media and digital marketing.

Negotiated sales are usually sold via an invoice or a sales agreement the total of which is in addition to the auction total for the year
