Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between commercial and industrial properties?
Industrial companies include factories and construction sites; on the other hand, commercial properties develop businesses like restaurants and retail stores.
What are my financial responsibilities in this process?
The auction house will analyze the market and create a specific marketing plan for your property, determining the best advertising channels. While the auction house covers a portion of the marketing costs, you will be asked to contribute a smaller percentage towards the marketing spend.” A marketing budget will be presented on request.
Are prospective buyers permitted to view the property prior to the auction?
Yes, the property will be available for viewing during designated times, scheduled with the seller’s convenience in mind.
If my property reaches the reserve price, will the auction stop?
No, the auction continues. After the reserve price is met, the auctioneer will declare the property ‘on the market’ and encourage further bids. The property is sold to the highest bidder, and any bids exceeding the reserve price are for the seller’s benefit
What marketing approach will be used for my property?
Recognizing that each property is unique, the Auction House will create a customized marketing plan. This plan will leverage a range of channels to maximize exposure, such as: paid search and display advertising on Google, targeted social media campaigns, informative blog content, newspaper features, direct marketing to our existing database, professional property brochures, comprehensive website and portal listings, our extensive agent network, strategic online banner advertising, and engaging YouTube video content.
What is categorised as industrial property?
Industrial real estate, on the other hand, typically involves properties where goods are made, stored and/or shipped. These properties include eight different types of industrial buildings, but industrial real estate tends to fall under three categories: manufacturing, storage and distribution, and flex space.
What distinguishes an on-site auction from a multi-property auction?
An on-site auction is conducted directly at your property, focusing on potential buyers for that specific listing. Conversely, a multi-property auction is held at a central location, where numerous properties are auctioned simultaneously, appealing to a broader audience. Multiple property auctions are livestreamed and registered bidders can participate globally.
What if my property doesn't reach the reserve price?
You have the option to accept or reject the highest bid, either during the auction or within the confirmation period. Often, properties that don’t reach the reserve price are sold after the auction through negotiation
Why should I sell my property by auction?
Why should I sell my property by auction?
Low Risk, Low Cost – The Seller’s fee to the auctioneer covers inspection of the property, digital marketing, online advertising, video and catalogue production costs. But if there’s no successful sale, there’s no commission.
Ease and Efficiency – When the hammer falls, the deal is done: no protracted negotiations, suspensive clauses, or intermediaries. We are aiming at a conclusive transaction.
There’s a Buzz – Auctions can be thrilling events. It’s our job to intensively market your property, so that the maximum number of prospective bidders turns up on the day. We do physical auctions which are livestreamed so anyone worldwide can participate.
No deals behind closed doors – Every transaction takes place transparently and in the open, with any terms and conditions available for public scrutiny.
The Sky’s the Limit – There’s no ceiling on the maximum price your property can fetch. Often, this means higher final prices than more traditional methods of sale.
It’s Done on the Day – There’s a high degree of certainty that your property will be sold. In tough markets, that’s a huge bonus.
You’re in Control – As a Seller, you set a minimum reserve price which will not be disclosed to the public. So, at no point in the process will there be any uncertainty.
No Commission – The Buyer covers the auctioneer’s commission, not you!
Serious Buyers Only – They’re aware that you genuinely intend to sell your property – so they’ll compete for the deal.
It’s Quick – It can take as little as five weeks from signing a mandate to confirming the sale. And between eight and ten weeks from the instruction to sell, to the registered transfer of an auctioned property or asset.
Protecting Property Value – our auction strategy will protect the value of your property and a meeting with all stakeholders before the auction will pave the way to a successful and ethical conduct.
