Auction gain upside from the downturn
Article Abstract:
Auctioneers point out selling a residential property by auction allows for a quick sale and access to a large number of purchasers. Many of the public still believe property is sold at auction because the seller is unable to dispose of it elsewhere. Poor property will not sell at auction unless it has a low reserve. Some 50% of residential sales at auctions are repossessed properties. The number of repossessions, in the UK, increased by 9.6% during Jan-Jun 1998 compared to the previous six months.
