I have used Louise and her team for years. Always a pleasure to deal with and always on it, don't think they ever sleep! Kate Freer has been amazing! Always in communication and very friendly, informative and professional. We will be back again soon im sure!
Can't recommend Edward Mellor Auctions enough and in particular Louise McDonald and Kate Freer. They marketed the property in the best possible way with very responsive and helpful customer service and achieved a sales price at auction that exceeded all expectations. Will definitely be utilising their services on future sales.
When I want to sell properties with zero hassle while achieving great values I only would only use Edwards Mellor's auction service. I first used Louise McDonald at Edward Mellor's over 20 years ago and their service and results have only got better, particularly their online auction system. Would highly recommend!
I can only say the expertise and advice enabled us to sell the property and achieve exactly what we wanted from the sale. I can recommend Edward Mellor as an efficient, knowledgeable and caring agent who achieved everything they said they would with minimum input from me.
I can't recommend Louise and Andrea in the auction department highly enough. They walked me through the whole process of selling at auction and their professional knowledge is first class. These guys are the experts !
Sales commission is the fee charged by the auctions team for successfully selling the property. It is invoiced after exchange of contracts and usually settled by deduction from the deposit paid by the purchaser. The rate of commission is agreed between the seller and auctions team and shown in the Agency Agreement which sets out the fees and terms of business that apply.
An entry fee is a charge paid by the seller to the auctions team. This cost is to cover the cost of entering the property into the catalogue, the extensive marketing and promotion during the run up to the auction, right through to the auction day itself. It is usually paid when you instruct the team to sell your property, but on occasions and with prior agreement it may be settled from deposit monies on exchange of contracts.
Your property will be marketed on Rightmove, Zoopla and our own website. We also advertise your property on out social media where it can reach thousands of additional buyers looking to find a property just like your. Finally we market to our extensive database of over 50,000 people.
Reasons to choose auction include the speed and certainty that it offers; there is no faster way to sell and success rates through to completion are far higher than through estate agents. Other attractions are that it delivers a legally binding sale with contracts exchanged on the fall of the hammer, so neither party can pull out of the sale or try to renegotiate the price. The competitive bidding process aims to drive the price up so the property achieves its best possible price on the day too.
If you have a quick look through our current auction catalogue, you’ll notice we sell a property much every type of property, in any condition, anywhere in the UK. From family homes, plots of land, refurbishment projects, shops, hotels, blocks of flats, city centre apartments and more much – you name it, we’ve mostly likely sold it.
Our selling fees can vary depending on the location, condition and value of your property. We recommend that you discuss this with our valuer at the appointment stage.
