Auctions
In 2014 we sold 162 properties at auction, from 186 offered. This achieved £13.6 MILLION insales at a 87% success rate (national average 70-75%).
Why sell at auction?
There are two main advantages to selling by auction.
1 - That an auction brings certainty to the selling of a property where there is
so much uncertainty when selling by private treaty.
2 - The advantage to the seller is that there is no upper limit on bidding.
What types of property suit auction?
Any property can be suitable to be sold by auction but historically
properties taken to auction have been…
Vacant properties
Properties with problems – either structurally or legally
Disputes - Auctions are a very good way of selling where there has been adispute, as properties are sold in a transparent way which may also suit
executor sale
Advantages of auction
Immediacy - At the ‘fall of the hammer’ you will exchange contracts.
Speed - From the time you commence marketing to exchange of contracts is only 6 weeks.
Wider Marketing - Your property will receive maximum exposure to the market with advertising in more newspapers than normal and inclusion on specialist auction websites.
Confidence - Buyers have more confidence because they know that sellers are committed to
selling and not likely to waste time. If buyers are more confident then that is good for you the seller!
Decisive - Buyers are forced to make decisions and get organised.
Competitive - Buyers bid in a competitive atmosphere.
Certainty - The fall of the gavel is the point when automatic exchange of contracts takes place.
Transparency - The best price is seen to be achieved thus satisfying all parties.
Completion - This usually takes place 28 days from the date of auction.
And finally.... Certainty is brought to what is otherwise an uncertain process.

Dear Sir/Madam This is to thank you all at John Francis Pembroke for the excellent serviceprovided to us during the selling of our property in Pembroke. The service that we receivedfrom Haydn, Sandra and Liz was always professional yet friendly, which made our dealingswith them very easy from beginning to end. After our property being on the market withanother estate agent for nearly 2 years, we have lost hope of a sale, but having transferred toJohn Francis we suddenly had life and activity and felt Sandra and Liz were working hard for asale, keeping us informed at all times. The property was marketed to a high standard andbecause of this we had a swift sale. We would definitely use John Francis Estate Agents againand would recommend them to anybody. Carolyn & Phil Davies
