A Seller's Guide to Maximising Your Property's Value at Auction

Selling at auction can deliver excellent results — but preparation is essential.

Here is how to position your property for maximum impact.

Step 1: Obtain an Accurate Valuation

Pricing correctly is crucial. A realistic guide price generates interest and encourages competitive bidding.

Professional valuation expertise ensures:

• Credibility with buyers
• Reduced risk of overpricing
• Stronger competition

Step 2: Presentation Matters

While auctions often attract renovation projects, presentation still influences buyer perception.

Simple improvements such as:

• Clearing clutter
• Basic cleaning
• Minor repairs

can significantly enhance appeal.

Step 3: Prepare a Strong Legal Pack

Buyers need confidence. A comprehensive legal pack containing:

• Title documents
• Searches
• Property information forms
• Special conditions

reduces uncertainty and encourages stronger bidding.

Step 4: Marketing Exposure

Effective marketing includes:

• High-quality photography
• Detailed descriptions
• Wide online exposure
• Email alerts to investor databases

At Phillip Arnold Auctions, our marketing reach ensures properties are visible to active investors nationwide.

Step 5: Understand the Auction Day Process

Once the reserve price is met and bidding concludes:

• Contracts exchange immediately
• The buyer pays a deposit
• Completion typically follows within 28 days

This provides certainty rarely matched in private sales.
