What Makes Auction Sales So Successful?
So what’s driving these impressive outcomes? At McHugh & Co, we see several consistent benefits to selling at auction:
Speed and Certainty
Once the hammer falls, the sale is legally binding. Buyers pay a deposit on the day and complete usually within 28 days — no chains, no delays.
Bidding Wars Drive Value
Competitive auctions often push prices above expectations, especially when demand is high and marketing is on point.
Transparency for All Parties
Sellers know exactly where they stand with reserve prices, while buyers appreciate a fair, open process.
Ideal for All Property Types
From vacant flats and family homes to cottages, land, and probate sales — auction is no longer just for distressed stock. It’s a solution that suits many.
