Our property auction process

We partner with Pattinson Auction, one of the biggest auction houses in the UK, to sell properties by the online modern method of auction. Ideal for those with the flexibility of 2 to 4 weeks of time, this service helps you reach a wider audience and gain a more competitive bid.

It’s also suitable for all property types. Whether you’re looking to sell your house before repossession or sell probate property – no matter the conditions, circumstances, or legal complexities, we can help.

Step 1

Get in touch

Complete our form or contact us at 0204 578 2156. We’ll ask you to share some key details about the property which we’ll send to our auction team.

We guarantee we’ll offer on any property in any condition.

Pattinson will gather details about the property and share a guide price. This is typically 20% below market value, though bids can rise as high as 14%. If you accept our offer to auction your property, we will arrange for photos, a video tour, and a legal pack to be prepared for the auction.

You can set a minimum reserve price.

Step 3

Auction your property

Your property will have its own dedicated auction for two weeks, reaching ready-to-buy audiences. We will market the property across our established network, including Zoopla and Rightmove.

We’ll get you closer to your market value.

What our customers have to say about us

Diana Andrade Rosero
Bought my house in under a week. You guys were there when I needed you most, cannot recommend more highly! Thank you! Xx
Michele Crispin
Declan was excellent with my house sale and got it sold in a week. Very understanding of my needs. Would definitely use them again and would recommend them.
Tina Wilkinson
Declan and team worked tirelessly to find a buyer for our unique house. He was committed to meeting our very short timeframe to help us move back to the US – although our destination changed. Found an amazing buyer who understood our needs and we completed in 3 weeks! Declan has a trusted and trustworthy group of buyers he works with. A good network and commitment is hard to find. This was a perfect transaction.
Chantelle Seaman
Sold house super quick, Declan was friendly, professional and great to work with. Would recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions


What is the online modern method of auction?

The online modern method of auction combines traditional auction principles with modern technology. Our partner, Pattinson Auction, lists the property online and encourages competitive bidding from buyers over a set period of time, typically 2 weeks. Once an offer is accepted, the buyer is obligated to pay a non-refundable 10% fee and is legally bound to exchange. This method is becoming increasingly popular due to its efficiency, transparency, and ability to attract a wide range of potential buyers.

What are the benefits of selling my house by auction with Instant Home Offers?

Our auction service is free. This is unlike other agencies on the market who charge up to 2% commission. We partner with Pattinson Auction, one of the biggest auction houses in the UK, to ensure the property reaches the widest possible audience. The property will have its own dedicated auction and be promoted on leading property portals including Rightmove and Zoopla, with legal packs available to buyers at no additional cost to you. (The legal pack allows all parties to facilitate an exchange of contracts as soon as there is an acceptable offer.) With us, you can set a minimum reserve price, opt for an accelerated auction timeline of 2 weeks, and get closer to your market value. The auction winner will be legally bound to exchange, and you’ll receive a 10% deposit upon exchange.

What is the timescale for Instant Home Offers’ property auction process?

We offer an accelerated timescale of 2 weeks for buyers to bid on the property. However, to ensure you get the best possible deal, we will sell the property only if the offer meets or exceeds your pre-agreed reserve price.

What offer can I expect to receive from the online modern method of auction?

This will vary from property to property, but anywhere between 19% to 14% below the market value. Competitive bidding can often push the price above the reserve. What’s more, a property auction can actually help you reach market value more quickly and transparently than selling for cash. What’s more, auctioning your property is still faster than the traditional process of selling a property with a real estate agent, and we offer this service free of charge (unlike others who charge up to a 2% commission).

What fees do I have to pay Instant Home Offers to auction my property?

None. Unlike other agencies in the market, we do not take a commission and we offer this service free of charge. We will handle all of the legal fees associated with the process, including producing a legal pack.

What types of property can I sell at auction?

Any type. You can auction residential homes, buy-to-let properties, land, or commercial buildings. You can even sell a house with subsidence or a problem property.

Can I set a minimum price for my house?

Yes. The reserve price is the minimum you’re willing to accept, and your property won’t sell for less than this figure. Our service endeavours to make sure your needs are met, from reserve price to completion dates.

Are auction sales legally binding?

Yes. Once an offer is accepted, the buyer is legally obliged to exchange. This drastically reduces the risk of fall-through.
