Exceeded my expectations
I have used Edward Mellor's auction service a number of times. The staff are friendly and professional. The advice has always been accurate and informative. My property in the October auction exceeded my expectations and I would add a special mention to Louise Golden who is always excellent with her advice.
They made the process simple
I recently sold my late father's house and I asked Edward Mellor to act as the estate agent. What I thought may be a daunting process was made effortless thanks to the professionalism of the staff at Edward Mellor. At all stages they were courteous and professional. Communication was frequent and clear. They made the process seem so simple that I would happily recommend them.
Taking the stress out of the transaction
This company recently sold my house at auction and were friendly and efficient, very much taking the stress out of the transaction and were very patient with this 77-year-old. Well done everyone!
Their results speak for themselves
I recently sold a property through Edward Mellor Auctions and couldn't be more pleased with the entire experience. From the initial valuation to the final sale (which went over the guide price!), the process was smooth, professional, and reassuring every step of the way. I want to thank Louise for her warm and personal touch throughout the process – she really made me feel looked after, and her genuine care stood out. Millie was outstanding with her communication and organisation. She kept everything on track and made sure I was updated every step of the way – an absolute star! If you're considering selling your property, I wholeheartedly recommend Edward Mellor Auctions. Their team is exceptional, and their results speak for themselves.
Absolutely amazing result
From my very first phone call to enquire about the auction process (as it was all new to me), I felt in completely safe hands with the Edward Mellor Auction team! Louise came out quickly to see me and value my house, and talked me through everything I needed to know and helped answer all my questions. Millie then arranged loads of viewings and looked after me through to the auction. We had an absolutely amazing result on the day, thanks to all their hard work and expertise – I'll definitely call upon Edward Mellor again in the future!
Book your free appraisal with us
Arrange an in-person or remote valuation with one of our auction experts at a time that suits you. At your appointment, they can give you an idea of what price your property could achieve in an auction sale and walk you through how the process works, explaining the timescales and costs involed with selling at auction.
Set a reserve price, and we'll do the rest.
We make sure that your property only sells at auction when it's reached the price you want to achieve for it by setting a reserve. We'll agree a reserve price with you before the bidding begins, so you can sell with complete confidence. Then we'll market your property everywhere buyers look, coordinate viewings with you, provide regular feedback on interest level, and handle offers.
Watch your property sell at our online auction.
Once the bidding begins, all you need to do is sit back, relax, and watch your property sell for an amazing price at our online auction. Our auction runs over a 24-hour period, so you can tune in and see all of the bids on your property whenever you like from the comfort of your own home. We do often receive offers from interest buyers prior to the auction, meaning you may sell faster than you thought!
Exchange and complete your sale
As soon as the virtual hammer falls, the sale exchanges – meaning that your buyer is contractually obliged to purchase your property. Once it's sold it takes just 28 days to complete, meaning you receive your cash from the sale in just four weeks. This also applies to properties sold subject to, pre and post auction offers.
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.
The property will be marketed to over 300,000 potential buyers via our bespoke email campaigns and on top of this, our dedicated 26,500 followers on Social Media, nearly 17,000 of these on our auction Twitter alone, will have unlimited access to browse it digitally. We pride ourselves on giving you the best platforms to expose the property to the maximum number of potential buyers, ensuring that the best price is achieved, in a quick time frame and with complete transparency. Of course we are on Rightmove, and auction specialist site, the Essential Information Group, but it is our unique positioning in the auction world as estate agents who started to do auctions that sets us apart.
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.
