A traditional online auction works just like a live auction room, but online.

• When the bidding period ends, if your reserve price has been met or exceeded, the sale exchanges immediately.
• The buyer is then legally obliged to complete the purchase.
• This method offers speed and certainty, with no delays in securing your sale.

Properties listed this way are marked as “Traditional”.

A conditional auction gives buyers a little more time — and you potentially more interest.

• At the close of bidding, the winning buyer has 20 working days to exchange contracts.
• This flexibility allows them to arrange finance, attracting additional buyers, including those who require a mortgage to purchase.
• It combines the security of an online auction with added accessibility for buyers.

Properties listed this way are marked as “Conditional”.

Whether selling via the Traditional or Conditional method:

• All bidders are pre-authorised and must pre-register, verify their details, and provide payment information before placing a bid.    
• Successful bidders pay immediately at the close of the auction, proving commitment.
