Auction Services at Boot & Son
Over a Century of Auction Excellence in Cannock
Boot & Son Property Auctions
Boot & Son has a rich heritage of successfully conducting property auctions for over 100 years, making us a leading choice for buying and selling properties in Cannock through auction. Our approach demystifies the auction process, ensuring clarity and confidence for both sellers and buyers.
The Boot & Son Auction Process
Tailored, Transparent, and Trusted
- Personalized Appraisals: Unlike many auctioneers who rely on desktop appraisals, we believe in the value of inspecting each property personally. This approach allows us to provide accurate advice and price guidance, enabling informed decisions from the outset.
- Detailed Particulars and Legal Packs: We prepare concise sales particulars for our auction catalogue and collaborate with solicitors to develop comprehensive legal packs. These packs are readily available online, offering transparency and ease of access to potential buyers.
- Effective Marketing Reach: Our properties benefit from extensive exposure through internet listings, newspaper coverage, and our comprehensive mailing list, ensuring a wide reach to potential buyers.
Convenience and High Attendance
- Local Focus with Global Reach: While our advertising through Rightmove is worldwide, we find that most Cannock Chase area properties are purchased by locals. We offer convenient viewing dates and host our auctions in local venues to maximize attendance and participation.
- Dynamic Auction Atmosphere: Our auctions typically see around 200 attendees, creating a vibrant environment conducive to successful sales. Buyers have the option to bid in person, by telephone, or through proxy, ensuring flexibility and accessibility.
Post-Auction Follow-Ups
Should a property remain unsold, we actively pursue interested parties post-auction to secure a sale, leveraging the heightened interest that follows auction events.
Setting the Right Prices
- Guide and Reserve Prices: We adeptly set guide prices to attract competitive bidding and advise on reserve prices based on market feedback and interest levels.
- Transparency in Bidding: Our auction process is designed to be transparent, with open bidding in the auction room offering reassurance of fair market prices.
Boot & Son's Buyer's Guide
Empowering Buyers with Knowledge and Confidence
- Preparation is Key: We recommend prospective buyers view the property multiple times, review the legal pack, and, if necessary, obtain a survey or professional advice.
- Multiple Bidding Options: Attend the auction in person, arrange a telephone bid, or trust the auctioneer with a proxy bid – we offer various ways to participate.
- Understanding Modern Auctions: While we have reservations about modern auctions, we encourage buyers to conduct their research and decide the best approach for their needs.
Benefits of Choosing Auctions
- Speed and Certainty: The auction process is quick and once the hammer falls, a legally binding contract is in place, backed by a non-refundable deposit.
- Transparency and Fairness: The open nature of auctions ensures transparency and the assurance of obtaining the best possible price.
- Efficiency in Multiple Disposals: Auctions are ideal for selling multiple properties efficiently on the same day.
