Graham Penny Auctions’ last Leicester auction in June saw sale prices surpass all expectations with one lot selling for more than 50 per cent over its guide price, proving that selling property under the hammer is the perfect way to get the best price.
Carl Finch, Graham Penny Auctions Leicester branch manager, commented: “The sale of property by traditional auction is a proven method of achieving the best price and does not mean it will be sold under market value. Confidence in the property market is growing as the year progresses, however what remains consistent is sellers wanting to achieve the best price for their property.
We have a comprehensive database of thousands of active buyers across the country including landlords, investors and private individuals who are all looking for their next purchase. With only a £295 entry fee to us, we will market your property to our national contacts and sell your property under the hammer.”
