Gibson Auctions

Selling a property at auction

For property owners who are looking for a faster sale in this sluggish market, a property auction can be an innovative and effective method of selling real estate. It is an intense process that involves the public sale of any property and which moves forward from instructions being given to actual completion in a much shorter timescale than would otherwise be the case. Once the gavel or hammer goes down the Seller has the re- assurance of knowing that the Buyer will be signing a Contract immediately and also paying the necessary deposit. The deal is then binding and there is no possibility of a proposed Buyer simply not proceeding.  Auctions are definitely a win-win proposition for everyone involved as described.

Conditions for Entry to Auction

Your property can be entered into our auction, upon receipt of your instruction to proceed.

The property would be entered with a Reserve Price. ( This is the price below which the property will not sell, without your express authority, and is only known to you and us ).

 We use a marketing figure to attract interest in the property. This is known as the Guide Price. This figure will be set by us with your agreement.

 If you are happy with the figure, and wish to enter your property, we will send you an Auction Agreement Form, which you should return to us before we start marketing your property, along with paying the Entry Fee.

Entry Fee is £175 + vat.

 Your property will be advertised in various  newspapers including:

 The Belfast Telegraph, Sunday Life and The Irish News.

 Your property will also be advertised on Property Pal, Property News, and on our own website.

 We will, unless ask us not to, put up a ‘For Sale’ board at the property, and carry out three, 30 min Open Viewings in the two weeks leading up to the auction.

 Your solicitor needs to send us through a ‘Legal Pack’ which includes:

•         Copy Title

•         Contract

•         Up to date Searches and Property Certificates

•         EPC

The Contract, which your solicitor would provide as part of the Legal Pack, will be an Auction Contract, meaning that it will not subject to survey, or obtaining finance.

The purchaser will pay a 10% deposit on the night of the auction with a 28 day completion period in the contract, unless you need a longer period.

All the properties can be sold at any time, before and after the Auction, and not just in the Auction itself, but always under Auction Terms & Conditions.

We cannot sell your property, if we do not have the legal pack before the auction, we would have to withdraw the property and schedule it for the following auction.
