Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about selling your property at auction in Scotland. Can't find your answer? Call us free on 0800 612 6119.

Do I need to sell for less going through an auction?
No. We consistently achieve sales at market valuation and above while giving clients peace of mind through our SaleLock Guarantee. You set the reserve, so you stay in control.
What is your SaleLock Guarantee?
We secure a 10% deposit from the buyer on the day they make an offer. If they pull out, they forfeit the deposit — you get paid it (minus our fee) and we find you another buyer.
What is a reserve price?
The reserve is the minimum figure you'd like to achieve, and you set it. If no bid meets your reserve, there's no obligation to sell — you're always in control of the price you sell for.
Will I need to take less money to sell?
Not necessarily. We've sold hundreds of properties at market valuation and above — the trick is having the right cash-ready buyer base in the first place, which we do.
How quickly can you sell my house?
Typically within a few weeks, depending on the market and the property. Many homes sell before their first auction, and completion is guaranteed within 28 days of an accepted offer.
Do I need a Home Report to sell my house?
Yes — in Scotland a Home Report is legally required to market a property. It gives buyers key details on condition, energy efficiency and valuation. We'll guide you through arranging one.
What's the process for viewings?
Once your property is listed we schedule viewings at convenient times, and buyers can book through us directly. Our team manages everything and provides feedback after each viewing.
What happens if you don't sell my property?
We provide honest feedback and explore alternative strategies — adjusting price, enhancing marketing or other options. And with no sale, no fee, if we don't get you an acceptable offer in three months you owe nothing.
Are there any upfront or hidden fees?
No. We cover professional photography, video tours and floor plans, and there are no listing fees. You only pay when your property sells at a price you're happy with.
Can I sell a tenanted or buy-to-let property?
Absolutely. Our investor network is ideal for tenanted sales — we regularly sell buy-to-lets with tenants in situ, at market value and above.
How does the modern method of auction differ from a traditional auction?
The modern method gives buyers a reservation period (typically 28 days) to complete, rather than exchanging instantly on the day. It combines auction speed and security with wider buyer appeal — often achieving higher prices.
Which areas of Scotland do you cover?
All of it — from Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Dundee to Inverness, Perth, Stirling, Fife, Ayrshire and the Borders. Wherever your property is in Scotland, we can sell it.
