Buyers Etiquette

You would lose lots of mainstream buyers though. Auction is good for cash buyers, builders, developers etc. who buy houses for business rather than living. It is not for everyone.Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.0

I guess it’s an option.t1redmonkey said:There is also the option of selling via auction if you get really fed up with people pulling out. I did that recently and sold my house for £250k, whole process was done within a month. Buyer has to put down 10% non refundable deposit initially as well so very unlikely they'll pull out before completion. I did check with regular estate agents beforehand and they were predicting i'd get between £220k-£230k for my house if I sold with them, so actually got more through auction.I’m sure it will sell I’m just worried about the Vendor of the property we have offered on not wanting to wait around0
