FREE!
Why choose Hammer Price Homes?The conventional way to sell your property is through an estate agent.
They charge for their services by taking a commission upon the sale of your property. But why
pay someone else thousands for something you can do yourself – for FREE?
At Hammer Price Homes we have developed a new way to sell your property online. Breaking
away from the traditional process, our highly advanced yet easy to use website provides the
platform that enables you to create your own listing. Open to both cash and mortgage
buyers our online auctions gives the buyers access to bid anytime anywhere and by
listing for the advised 28 day period you can maximise on price.
Your dedicated account manager will help you through the whole process
1 2 3 4
Following a simple step by step process,
sellers set up their profile and create their
listing. This includes adding the property
details, setting a reserve price, uploading
an energy performance certificate (EPC),
and listing any ‘open days’.
Once your listing is complete we will
market your property and start the online
auction. We will also advertise your
property on Rightmove and Zoopla.
Buyers can register and sign in to search
for their perfect property. If they like what
they see and want to know more, they
can ask the seller a question through the
website or attend an open day before
they place their bids. It’s open to cash and
mortgage buyers.
During the auction period you can
showcase the property on open days
which will be held on assigned dates.
Potential buyers can register to attend
providing the sellers with a complete
guest list.

At the close of the bidding window, the
process finishes with a winning bid as
long as the reserve is met or exceeded.
Buyers have 48 hours in which to submit
the reservation fee (2.4% inc. VAT) and
secure the sale. A memorandum of sale
is then issued to both the seller and
the buyer. We work with Natwest and
Worldpay to ensure all cash transactions
are handled with care.
The sale conveys in the traditional manner
through to the exchange of contracts,
following our 90-day completion rule.
If required, a Post Auction Review will
be done for those properties that have not
had their reserve price met. Appropriate
next steps will be discussed with the seller.

POST AUCTION REVIEW
Hammer Price Homes provides the most transparent way to market a property. The service is absolutely FREE to the seller. Our highly advanced website ensures that ALL bids are logged real time and removes any third party interference. Also you can view progress at any point during the auction on any device from anywhere.
There really is no catch because the buyer is
charged a commission, not the seller. You just
need to follow our simple online process for
showcasing your property.
SELLERS:
Sellers can set up their listing and auction
immediately, unlike traditional auctions,
which can take weeks and are then only open
to a handful of bidders. We will even bear the
cost of advertising on Rightmove and Zoopla,
plus ‘for sale’ boards.
At every step of the process, sellers have
control of their auction, including the decision
of how long to keep the auction open (28
days is recommended to maximise response).
BUYERS:
Buyers who register can bid on any property,
anytime and anywhere. They will receive
instant notifications if theirs is the highest bid
and whether it has met the reserve price. They
will have real time access to the bid log so
they can track both their bid activity and that
of rival bidders 24/7.
VERIFIEDBUYERS
ENSURED
A transparent process from start to finish… AUCTION WITH A DIFFERENCE
Ours is a 28 day auction allowing rival
bidders enough time to maximise on
price unlike that of a physical auction
which lasts only minutes. A property sold
too quickly is highly likely to have been
sold too cheaply, it makes little sense to
sell a property before testing the market
over a reasonable period of time.
UP TO DATE REPORTING
You will be assigned a dedicated account
manager who will be your main point of
contact.
We will provide you with regular up to date
reporting on all properties throughout for
the duration of the process from initial
listing, through auction until contracts are
exchanged.
HIGHER RETURNS
Our auction is open to mortgage and
cash buyers. A traditional in-the-room
auction typically attracts predominantly
cash buyers, which make up just 15%
of all purchasers. Hammer Price Homes
provides an option that is open to a much
wider audience with the ability to bid
from anywhere even from the comfort of
their own home, 24/7.
With no sel l ing fees and bigger sale
proceeds just think of the significant
bottom line improvement.
VERIFICATION PROCESS
Our bidders are genuine bidders who
have undergone a thorough verification
process. Our terms & conditions reduce
the risk massively of a buyer pulling out.
Over 90% of winning bids move to a
successful completion.
ANTI SNIPING TOOL
The exclusive Anti-Sniping Tool also helps
ensure fair play and that those wishing to
bid don’t lose out in the last few minutes.
Interested parties are allowed a further 15
minutes to react each time a late bid is
placed to ensure all bids are captured.
POST AUCTION REVIEW
In the unlikely event that an auction finishes
and the reserve hasn’t been met then we
will conduct a Post Auction Review.
During the Post Auction Review, together
we would consider the results of the
auction, analysing bids received and agree
what to do next. That could be to relist or
maybe to talk to highest bidders to see
if they have an appetite to consider the
reserve. This decision is yours but we will be
there to support you.

“Hammer Price Homes represent what can only be described as an outstanding service.
The whole process of selling a property through them is made easy, with all of the costs and terms explained at the outset.
I recently had call to use them on a property where an offer was received which my client was minded to take....thankfully she went with my advice and received a sale price of approx. £25k more than she would have done and all thanks to Hammer Price Homes.
It is totally safe with a reserve price and you can see the progress the sale is making online.
Will certainly be using this service again!”

“I put 5 properties that I had been struggling to sell through physical auctions/estate agents in the hands of Hammer Price Homes and ran them all through their 28 day auction process with reserves that I was happy with.
We had a very good level of interest on all properties and sold 3 of them at an average of 5% above the reserve price, one of the buyers bid from his office in London having had a family member attend an open day viewing.
Not only did I get more than my reserve I also incurred zero selling costs.
The other 2 properties didn’t hit the reserve but Hammer Price Homes provided me with a full report listing all bids received with an option to consider the highest bids made or to relist for another auction. I have decided to re-let both of the properties for now but will certainly go back to Hammer Price Homes should I wish to sell them in the future.
I would also like to add that their customer service from start to finish was excellent which included regular updating on the whole process.”

“As a Probate Law Firm we have a legal & moral obligation to attain the best price we can when selling property on behalf of an estate.
We had a private offer of £85,000 for a property in North Shields.
Although the offer seemed fair with regards to previous estate agent valuations, we’d had success with Hammer Price Homes on another property, so the client decided to list the property on their online property auction website.
We agreed to set the reserve at £85,000 knowing that this price was achievable.
When the 28 day auction closed it had attracted 9 bidders, 40 bids and more importantly a winning bid of £109,000, some 28% higher than the best offer we had prior to the auction.
I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Hammer Price Homes from both an effectiveness and professional point of view.
More importantly, the client was extremely pleased with the service provided.”

Hammer Price Homes’ transparent and well-worked online auction process is the perfect solution. It ensures that properties are sold for the highest possible price every time (and quickly), and it also enables executors/administrators to demonstrate to beneficiaries that all reasonable steps have been taken to achieve the same.”

I recently bought my first property online. The Hammer Price Homes process is simple & fair and the customer service was excellent!
I sat and watched the last hour of the auction on my mobile phone in a departure lounge. Beat my reserve & no agency fees, happy days!
