Thinking about Selling your Property in 2016?

If you are wondering how to sell your home fast, but are uncertain of your options, selling a house at auction could be the choice for you. Selling a property at auction is one of the most secure forms of quick house sale there is.

You should consider going to auction if:

- You have a home that needs some work, and/or are happy to let it go at a below market value price. - The property for sale by auction is unique / unusual, and would not sell well on the open market. - You are simply looking for a quick, guaranteed no-nonsense sale.

Auctions are also an excellent way to sell a home that is in high demand, as the property may encourage a bidding war and achieve a bid that far exceeds its market value.

Choosing to auction a house is also a viable option for a seller that finds a private sale too stressful, what with advertising concerns, endless viewings and negotiations, and sales that fall through. There is a high degree of certainty in a house auction sale, as once the gavel falls on the winning bid the sale is binding, and the buyer is unlikely to pull out. Contracts are exchanged directly after the auction, and buyers found at auction are serious about winning their bids. House auctions are also much faster than other forms of house sale; the entire process can be as quick as 4 - 5 weeks from listing to final sale.
