At Pugh Auctions we work with estate agents across the country. We can work with your existing agent to help sell your property and add value to your private treaty property sale.

It is often misconstrued that estate agents and property auction houses work against each other, but in reality, we work together. Especially in the current economy, the synergy between private treaty and online auctions has never been so crucial.

Should I Sell my House Right Now?

Residential house prices are currently very strong, this is due to buyer demand creating high prices as there is a surplus of buyers on the market. So, selling a property via auction means you are able to take full advantage of this demand by creating a competitive bidding process that will bring extra value to your sale. Making now a good time to sell your home if you want to achieve a high sale price.

How We Work with Estate Agents to Sell Auction Properties

By working with your existing agent and Pugh's auctions, you are able to bring together all the interest you might already have on your private treaty listing. In addition, you can maximise the marketing exposure for your property as you will also gain access to our extensive national database of over 35,000 active property professionals and buyers, increasing competition and ensuring you get the best possible price for your property.

You'll also benefit from a prompt exchange of contracts and deposit payment which provides that extra security to your sale.

Examples of Our Past Success Working with Estate Agents

Among the properties recently sold in partnership with estate agents is a two bedroom first floor apartment in Chorlton, whereby the vendor asked us and their agent, JP & Brimelow, to work together on the sale of the property. The apartment was guided at between £125,000 - £150,000 and sold for £168,000 on the day.

In Bolton, we sold a two bedroom mid-terrace dwelling in partnership with Cardwells Estate Agents with a guide price of £45,000 which sold for £73,000.

We don't just sell residential properties with our agents either. Last year we sold an end terrace commercial property in Burnley in partnership with JonSimon Estate agents which was guided at £28,000 and sold for £38,000.
