Frequently Asked Questions

Helpful answers about selling land, property auctions, probate property and auction valuations.

Can I sell land at auction?

Yes. Selling land at auction can be an effective way to attract serious buyers and achieve a sale within a defined timeframe. Agricultural land, development plots, woodland, paddocks and parcels of land can all be suitable for auction.

What are the benefits of selling land at auction?

Land auctions create competition between interested buyers and provide a clear sale date. Once the reserve price has been met and the auction ends, the successful bid forms a legally binding agreement, helping to reduce delays and uncertainty.

How does selling property at auction work?

The process begins with an auction valuation and a discussion about the most suitable sale strategy. Your property is then prepared and marketed before being offered to bidders. If the reserve price is reached, contracts are exchanged when the auction concludes.

What types of property can be sold at auction?

Property auctions can be suitable for residential homes, commercial premises, renovation projects, tenanted properties, development opportunities, unusual buildings and properties requiring a quicker sale.

Can I sell a probate property at auction?

Yes. Selling a probate property at auction can provide executors and beneficiaries with a clear and transparent route to sale. The fixed auction timetable can also make it easier to manage the estate and plan the next stages of the probate process.

Do I need probate before selling the property?

A probate property can usually be marketed before the Grant of Probate has been issued. However, the necessary legal authority will normally need to be in place before the sale can complete. Your solicitor can advise you based on the circumstances of the estate.

How is an auction valuation calculated?

An auction valuation considers the property’s condition, location, market demand, comparable sales and its potential appeal to auction buyers. It is used to help establish a realistic guide price and an appropriate reserve price.

Can I arrange a land valuation?

Yes. Terra Firma Auctions can provide a land valuation based on factors such as location, size, access, planning potential, current use and local buyer demand. This helps you understand how your land may perform at auction.

Is auction a good option if I need to sell quickly?

It can be. Selling quickly is one of the main reasons owners choose an auction. The property is marketed within a set campaign period, followed by a fixed auction date and an agreed completion timetable.

What is the difference between a guide price and reserve price?

The guide price indicates the expected level of interest and encourages bidding. The reserve price is the confidential minimum amount the seller is prepared to accept. The property will not be sold below this figure.

Are property auctions only for properties needing renovation?

No. Although renovation projects often perform well at auction, modern homes, rental properties, commercial premises, land and development opportunities can also attract strong interest from buyers.
