Property auction success with Stags

Property auction success with Stags

If you are considering selling property or land next year, now is the perfect time to explore your options.

What is an auction?

Auctions are a fast-paced, transparent and secure method of sale that can achieve excellent results by creating competitive interest and driving buyers to act decisively before the fall of the hammer.

Stags have an extremely successful record in guiding our sellers through the auction process, ensuring every detail is handled with care so that positive outcomes can consistently be achieved.

Most recently, Stags sold a parcel of about 2 acres of land with a small set of stables near Ilsington within Dartmoor National Park. With half a day to run on the auction, the reserve was comfortably realised and thanks to the competitive bidding of two determined parties, the land catapulted to a final sale price almost twice that of its upper guide.

SOLD Ilsington, within Dartmoor National Park.
 

It is important to note that selling property by auction requires more time in preparation than a typical sale, however, once the auction is over, completion on the sale can be achieved just 20 business days later, making the process altogether quicker.

A well organised auction includes a targeted marketing campaign and pre-prepared legal documentation. The auction legal pack alone can take up to two months to prepare and so those considering this method of sale are encouraged to be proactive if their objective is for a spring sale.

What properties can you sell at auction?

Auctions are increasingly popular for selling all types of property, from residential homes to agricultural and development land.  Any acreage, big or small, can be successful at auction, Stags have had success selling a range of lot sizes all across the West Country.
