Auction types explained.
Auction House offers a variety of auction types to enable you to buy property quickly and conveniently. We specialise in unconditional auctions where contracts exchange on the day of the auction and the sale is then legally binding. This is in contrast to the ‘modern method’ of auction offered by other auctioneers where an agreed sale doesn’t guarantee completion.
In-room auction
An in-room auction is the most traditional style of auction where an auctioneer stands in front of the bidders and calls out the next bid. You can bid in-person, on the phone or by proxy (where the auctioneer bids on your behalf). These auctions typically take place every 6-8 weeks and are regional.
Livestream auction
A livestream auction follows the same format as an in-room auction where the auctioneer is calling out the asking bid. Some auctioneers run hybrid auctions which take place in the room but also livestreamed on the website so buyers can bid from anywhere with internet access. Buyers can also bid via telephone and by proxy. The main difference with a livestream only auction is that no one is bidding in the same room as the auctioneer.
Online (timed) auction
Online auctions, also referred to as timed auctions are similar to eBay style bidding. Typically the auction will be live on the website for a 24 hour period where interested buyers can submit their bid via the website with the system requesting the next bid. Our national online auctions take place every week, allowing you to buy in the fastest possible timeframe.

Price Information
*Guides are provided as an indication of each seller’s minimum expectation. They are not necessarily figures which a property will sell for and may change at any time prior to the auction. Each property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the Auctioneer cannot sell the property during the auction) which we expect will be set within the Guide Range or no more than 10% above a single figure Guide.
Additional Fees Information
Please be aware there may be additional fees payable on top of the final sale price. These include and are not limited to administration charges and buyer’s premium fees payable on exchange, and disbursements payable on completion. Please ensure you check the property information page for a list of any relevant additional fees as well as reading the legal pack for any disbursements.
