Property Auctions Liverpool
Sell your property online in 30 days with no commission.
Why Sell With Us
We believe that by fully supporting sellers with no commission fees, we attract the best properties to auction, giving buyers better opportunities to secure quality homes and investments.
✅ No seller commission you keep 100% of sale price
Unlike many auction houses who charge sellers a commission on top of the buyer’s premium, we don’t take a cut from your sale price. This means you know exactly what you’ll walk away with when your property sells, with no deductions or hidden charges from us.
✅ Sell residential and commercial property across Liverpool and the North West
Whether you're selling a residential home, a rental property, or a commercial building, we can help. Our auctions cover both residential and commercial property across Liverpool and the wider North West, attracting a broad range of buyers from homeowners to investors.
✅ Advertised on Rightmove, Zoopla, OnTheMarket and more
We advertise every property on Rightmove, Zoopla, OnTheMarket, and Essential Information Group to reach thousands of buyers., the main platform used by professional auction buyers. This ensures your property is seen by thousands of motivated buyers locally and nationally.
✅ 30 day online auction more time, more bids
Unlike traditional in-room auctions with a single bidding day, our online auctions run for a full 30 days. This gives buyers more time to discover your property, arrange finances, and place bids, often leading to stronger competition and better results for you.
✅ Reach thousands of buyers
Our marketing doesn’t stop at property portals. We also promote your property through email alerts, social media, and auction buyer networks, ensuring it reaches both local buyers in Liverpool and investors across the UK.
✅ Exchange contracts automatically when auction closes
When the auction ends and the reserve price is met, contracts exchange automatically. This gives you certainty and peace of mind, there’s no risk of a buyer pulling out or renegotiating after the hammer falls.
✅ Completion in 28 days
Completion usually takes place 28 days after the auction ends, giving you a fast, secure sale. This is ideal if you’re looking to complete within a fixed timeframe, avoid a long chain, or reduce delays.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does it cost to sell my property at auction?
We don’t charge a seller’s commission or premium you keep 100% of the sale price (subject to your reserve price being met). The only cost to sellers is the legal pack preparation, paid upfront or deducted on completion, depending on agreement.
What is a buyer’s premium and how much is it?
We charge buyers a standard buyer’s premium of 2.5% + VAT of the final sale price, with a minimum fee of £3,000 + VAT. This is added to the final bid price and covers the cost of running the auction platform and services.
Do I need to pay for a legal pack to sell?
Yes every auction property requires a legal pack. We arrange this for you through a local solicitor at a fixed cost, so buyers have the information they need to bid confidently.
What happens if my property doesn’t sell?
If your property doesn’t meet the reserve price, it remains unsold. We’ll discuss relisting, adjusting the reserve, or other options with you no commission is charged.
Can I sell a tenanted property at auction?
Yes we can sell investment properties with tenants in place, attracting buy-to-let investors looking for income-producing assets.
How long does the auction last?
Each property is listed for a 30-day online auction, giving buyers time to bid transparently without last-minute pressure.
Do I need to accept the highest bid?
If the highest bid meets or exceeds your reserve price, the property is sold and contracts exchange automatically. If it doesn’t meet reserve, you’re not obliged to sell.
Do I need a solicitor before bidding?
We recommend instructing a solicitor before bidding so they can review the legal pack and advise you. You can also read the UK Government guide to buying property for general property purchase information.
Can buyers get a mortgage for auction properties?
Yes, but buyers must ensure their mortgage can complete within the required timeframe (typically 28 days from exchange). We recommend buyers secure an agreement in principle before bidding.
How do I set a reserve price?
We’ll provide a free valuation and recommend a reserve price based on market conditions. You’ll always approve the final reserve before the auction starts.

Ever wondered what it’s like to sell or buy through auction? Here is a step-by-step example from both perspectives
Sarah, the Seller
Sarah wanted to sell her three-bedroom terrace in Liverpool quickly and without estate agent fees. She requested a free valuation from Property Auctions Liverpool. We assessed her property, suggested a guide price of £125,000, and agreed a reserve price she was comfortable with.
Sarah paid a small onboarding fee upfront to cover professional photos, marketing, and the legal pack preparation. This fee was fully reimbursed as part of the sale, meaning she had no overall cost to sell her property.
We advertised her property on Rightmove, Zoopla, OnTheMarket, and Essential Information Group. Her property was listed in a 30-day online auction, giving buyers plenty of time to bid.
At the end of the auction, bidding closed at £134,000, above her reserve price. Contracts exchanged automatically, and Sarah completed the sale 28 days later, keeping 100% of the sale price with no seller commission deducted.
1. Free valuation
2. Small onboarding fee reimbursed through the sale
