Auctions

Quay Living works successfully with a respected national property auction group to offer clients ready access to sale by auction. No longer the sales method of last resort, auctions are now the disposal method of choice for many vendors wanting a fast, reliable sale. Six central-London auctions a year attract both local and national buyers and Quay undertakes the local viewings.

WHY SELL AT AUCTION?

• Sale by auction is fast, efficient and transparent
• No chains, no protracted negotiations, and no timewasters! Contracts are exchanged on the fall of the gavel
• Certainty – completion occurs 28 days after the auction date
• Auction sales offer greater exposure through extensive marketing, attracting both local and national buyers
• Auctions offer potential buyers the convenience of bidding in person, by telephone or on-line
• The auction house has an extensive database of serious, active buyers with cash or ready finance
• Regular sales are held at prestigious, accessible salerooms in the heart of London’s West End
• Higher levels of competition between buyers generate higher prices
• Auction sales achieve higher prices than “we buy your house quick” web sites.

• Extensive advertising undertaken on prime property portals

WHAT MAKES A GOOD AUCTION LOT?
