Why auction your property?

0% sales commission

Our fees are paid by the buyer upon them being the successful bidder.

Set a reserve you are happy with

We will agree your minimum sale price, if that price is not achieved, you are under no obligation to sell. Simple, secure, effective.

A faster sale process

With a fixed marketing period to generate interest, the winning bidder has 28 days to exchange. If they fail to do so, we will remarket your property.

Certain commitment from your buyer

Buyers pay a significant reservation fee once they have been successful at auction. HIVE have a proud record of 98% of our sales reaching completion!

Proceedable buyers

Buyers in ‘property chains’ are not be able to make the 28-day exchange deadline, so only proceedable buyers will view and bid for your property.

Widest pool of potential buyers

We market your property to cash and mortgage buyers across the UK.

Simple conveyancing process

Most of the work is completed up front in the legal pack, so there should be no ‘skeletons’ to worry about, speeding up the transaction process.

Our HIVE Partner Agents are happy to discuss all methods of property sale with you.

Sell your property with HIVE Auctions

Modern method of auction

With the modern method, the property does not exchange immediately on the ‘fall of the hammer’. Instead, the winning bidder enters into an exclusivity agreement which grants the winner 28 days to legally exchange contracts.

This method opens up the market to more buyers, specifically buyers who need a little extra time for their mortgage application. Once the auction has concluded, the winning bidder will be bound by our terms and the reservation will be paid.

And with HIVE, you will receive the best of both worlds: our modern online auction process, fully supported by the marketing expertise and local knowledge of your HIVE Agency Partner.
