Guides and questions

• Auction or private treaty: which route to choose

  Auction gives you a fixed date and an open market. Private treaty gives you a negotiated price and privacy. This guide sets out when each route suits, what you give up with each, and why many sales use both.

• What insolvency practitioners need from an auctioneer

  For office holders realising physical assets. Covers the instruction letter, the asset schedule and valuation basis, retention of title, finance and HPI checks, site security, health and safety during the sale, and the reconciliation you need for the file.

• What happens to unsold lots

  Not every lot sells, but the site still has to be cleared. This guide covers why lots go unsold, private treaty after the sale, lowering or removing the reserve, a later sale, scrap and WEEE recycling, and what disposal costs.

• Do I need to be there during the auction?
• What if I need the space cleared by a specific date?
• What about assets held away from the premises?
• What do buyers want to know about a forklift?
