Planning to retire? Find out how to sell assets by auction

If you are planning to liquidate your assets in order to fund retirement, you should consider the following:

  • How much additional income will be required
  • Which assets will you be planning to sell
  • How will you plan to invest the proceeds

When it comes to selling your assets, online auctions can be a highly effective platform for maximising sale value, due to the competitive nature of the auction process. We explain in more detail how this process works, and to consider before selling your assets in order to retire.

Accurate asset valuation

Receiving an accurate asset valuation can unlock the hidden value of your company’s assets. Our experienced Auctioneers are members of RICS, providing valuations under the highest professional standards. We can produce valuations for an extensive range of asset types across industries and sectors, from niche specialisms in metalworking and woodworking machinery to antiques and collectables

How do online asset auctions work?

Our online auction process is a straightforward method to sell your assets. Firstly, once we have determined your asset’s guide price through valuation, we will arrange the slot it will appear in for auction. Utilising our international network, we will provide marketing to target buyers for your assets and oversee the online auction until a winning bid is made. Once the sale is made, we will manage the transaction process for a smooth transition. 

Benefits of selling assets by auction

Selling assets through auction offers many benefits for sellers planning to retire, including: 

  • The auction setting can foster competitive bids, driving the item's sale price up and maximising your returns to aid your retirement funding
  • As a professional auction house, we can use our time and resources to oversee the marketing of your assets, so you are not responsible for targeting buyers individually.
  • Auctions can provide a quick turnaround period as opposed to other sale methods if the sale is time-sensitive for retirement planning
