Property auctions help vendors to achieve sales in weeks rather than months!
Whether selling at probate, dealing with a chain break or unlocking funds for an exciting investment opportunity, securing a guaranteed sale quickly can be hugely important for property vendors.
Selling a property can be a stressful experience when time is not of the essence, so it’s no surprise that vendors who need to sell quickly often need a helping hand.
Edward Mellor Auctions helps our clients to sell property quickly and effectively. Our friendly team of auction experts manage every step of the sale process, from property valuations and listing to marketing and running auction sales.
Our proven auction method consistently generates excellent results for vendors of all kinds of property in any condition. These can range from residential or rental properties to commercial properties and even development plots.
Crucially, by offering a fully comprehensive solution, which includes pre-sale property management services for probate properties*, Edward Mellor Auctions can give clients peace of mind that their property will sell, while knowing that every stage of the sale is safe in our hands.

May 14th-15th Property Auction
We constantly update our auction pages as properties continue to sell post-auction, so be sure to check in regularly if there are any lots that interest you. We also publish our upcoming auction dates on our auction calendar to update clients about all our past and upcoming events.
As always, it was a difficult task to choose which properties to highlight from our monthly success stories. However, we decided to focus on a few examples that demonstrate how auction sales can help sellers achieve excellent results at speed.
This property was on the market with our Droylsden office for £180,000. However, for personal reasons, our client decided they wanted a quick sale, so selling by auction was introduced to them by the branch.
After speaking with the seller, the house came straight over and into the auction, in a totally seamless move.
This is a practically unique service to Edward Mellor, as we offer both estate agency and property auctions under one roof, unlike other estate agents who use a separate company.
We moved quickly on behalf of the client to get their sale moving. We listed the home on the 2nd of May with an attractive starting bid of £130,000.
The reserve for the property was set at £140,000 on the 9th May, and it finally sold on 15th May for £164,000.
With contracts exchanging in just under two weeks and the lot selling for £24,000 over the reserve, the vendor was understandably impressed.
Here’s what our client had to say: “I can’t thank Louise and her team enough for everything they did to sell my property. Louise was so helpful and reassuring, I’m so grateful and over the moon with the result.”
This property was originally for sale with our Edgeley branch at £180,000 and had a sale agreed. Unfortunately, the chain collapsed with the initial buyer. As the property was vacant, the sellers decided to try the auction route for a quicker sale, not wanting it to sit empty any longer.
We listed the property with a starting bid of £140,000, and it went on to achieve an impressive sale price of £192,000 in the auction! Not only did this exceed the original offer by £12,000, but it also secured a fast 28-day completion — a huge advantage compared to waiting five months and risking further fall-throughs.
Our vendors were absolutely thrilled with the result — proof that auction can be a fantastic option when time and certainty matter most, and we still got the best price!
The vendors of 263 Edgeley Road came to us looking for a quick, hassle-free sale—and the auction delivered beyond their expectations.
With a focused marketing campaign and strong buyer interest generated ahead of the auction, the property was successfully sold on the day of the auction, achieving a sale price that over-delivered on what the vendors had hoped for.
A great result that highlights how the auction process can secure a fast, certain sale while also maximising value.
