Private Treaty

Private Treaty is the most popular method of sale and commonly used for residential properties.

Public Auction

This method is used to sell a number of properties in one day. The property will be sold on the day at the drop of a hammer. A reserve must be met before the property can be sold. A listing fee applies.

Sealed Envelope Bids

This sales method is used for large sites with development potential and protected structures. Interested purchasers are given the opportunity after viewing and carrying out their inspections to submit their best offers with deposit and proof of funds to the Vendors Solicitor at a given date. The vendor has the opportunity then to review the offers in place and decide on which offer they wish to take. The highest offer is not always the offer that is accepted it is at the discretion of the vendor.

Online Sales: Private Treaty & Online Auction

Your property is placed on the open market and advertised for 4-6 weeks in the traditional way. During this period your solicitor will prepare a ‘Contract For Sale’. This along with all other relevant information will be put online in a secure data room and can only be accessed after registering your personal information and identification then we approve you to have access to this information.

Here is the Good Bit, now with all this information in the data room both Vendor and Purchaser have Full access to everything going on in the Sales Process. Vendors Solicitors will publish all correspondence for all potential purchasers to see including the purchasers solicitors.

Please keep in mind by Purchasing in the online Auction you are committed to complete the sale proof of funds maybe required to take part in an online Auction, this can be provided by your solicitor.
