What does UK Auction List offer?

Q: What information do you provide to subscribers?

A: Subscribers have full access to a regularly updated, comprehensive online database of properties for auction throughout the UK. A detailed search facility, which can be tailored to suit your requirements, helps you find auction property with ease. Full property descriptions are listed with a link to the auctioneer website together with their contact details.

Subscribers also have access to a UK auction calendar which lists dates, venues and websites for auctioneers holding residential and commercial auctions over the forthcoming months, and an auctioneer directory which holds the details of all the auction houses througout the UK.

Q: Where do you get your information?

A: We have the permission from the auction houses to display their properties on our website. The auction houses allow us to download their information directly from their own, or will send us the details of their lots directly.

Q: How often do you update the database?

A: Properties are usually added every week, depending on when the auctioneer catalogues are released. The database is checked regularly to remove those that are sold either prior to auction or on the day itself (note that the majority of auction houses close in August and from mid December to earlyJanuary, so few properties are uploaded during this period).

Q: What types of property are listed?

A: We display both residential and commercial properties that are for auction throughout the UK. Properties include flats, houses, retail units, industrial sites, land for development, plus many more. They are a mixture of tenanted, vacant, leasehold and freehold. 

Q: Where are the properties that you list?

A: The properties are all over the UK – England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.  

Q: How many properties do you display?

A: The number of properties in our database changes on a daily basis depending on whether new catalogues have been released and whether auctions have taken place, and the sold lots removed. We ensure that as soon as new catalogues are released, the properties appear on our database within 24—48 hours.

Q: How do I search on UK Auction List?

A: You can search by either clicking on the map or entering the first part of a postcode, and for more specific searches, you can select a price range and property type. If you want to see all the properties in the database, simply click on the 'begin search' box without entering any other criteria.

If you are a member, you can save properties you have searched for in the MyUKAL area of the site for future reference. You will be able to save searches in your favourites, and will soon be given the opportunity of registering for e-mail alerts on these searches to notify you when new properties come onto the site matching your criteria. These will all be managed through the MyUKAL area of the site.

Q: Why don't all the properties have full details and photos?

A: While UK Auction List endeavours to display as much information as possible for each property, sometimes small details or photos are missing at the time of the catalogue going to press. If you require more information on a property you have seen on UK Auction List, we recommend that you contact the auctioneer directly.

Q: Why don't you recognise the location I type in?

A: The most common reason for this is that the postcode has been typed incorrectly. Double check to make sure that you have spelt the place name or entered the postcode correctly. Alternatively try searching using the map and drill down lists to see if you can find the area you are searching for.

Q: Can I view unsold properties?

A: You can view the unsold lots from past auctions within the search area. These are updated within 24—48 hours of an auction taking place. 

Q: Can I view auction results?

A: You will be able to access past auction results within the member’s area. These are to be updated on a weekly basis. Please note that this function is not currently live but will be available soon.

Q: Can I contact UK Auction List to help me find a property for auction?

A: Unfortunately UK Auction List is set up as an online tool only. We hope that our website is as easy to use as possible, but if you are having problems with your search or the functionality, then we will do our best to help you. We are however unable to carry out the property searches  or to recommend individual properties for you.

Q: Can you send me a printed catalogue?

A: As we are an on-line company with constantly updated information, we do not send out any printed collateral as it does not fit with our environmental policies. If there are any specific properties that you are interested in, we suggest you save them and print them if required – but remember to print double sided to save the trees!
