Market Ready Auctions

• It is never a welcome job to have to clear the possessions of a loved one who has departed, leaving a property to be sold.

• It is also difficult that to clear the property ready for market, has meant finding the money up-front to instruct a House Clearance company to take everything away.

​

That is where the Stevens Auctioneers MARKET READY AUCTION service can help!

​

• Although Property clearance charges can vary greatly depending on location and company used,  it can still be substantial.

• The Stevens Auctioneers Market Ready Auction service will maximise the value in the contents within the house, auction them on your behalf either in a single bespoke auction, or together with other similar properties and will return the hammer price, less costs, to you to the family or executors  to pay for the  final clearance of any residue!

• Less volume to clear means the house clearance company will charge less,  producing a cost neutral or hopefully, a profit back to the estate.​

• ​Each Market Ready Auction is tailor-made to your personal circumstances.

• ​We organise an online bidding solution on your behalf, auctioning all property contents in-situ, so there are no transport of other clearance costs to remove the contents before the auction.

• We value, catalogue and photograph all the goods in the property, provide a virtual video tour and operate a diarised appointment system for both viewing and post-sale collections on designated days which we oversee.

• We also operate a full shipping service  for the smaller items if collections cannot be achieved post-sale, and liaise with local delivery companies to take larger items straight to the purchaser's door.

• This means the property is effectively cleared by the purchasers of the contents, who are paying you to do so by buying your unwanted items!

And we do all of this for an agreed fixed fee with 0% Seller's Commission charged!​

This means:

• The value of the goods sold can be offset against any further costs incurred to present the property for sale.

• Goods offered for sale in-situ are likely to find a better price than when stacked in a distant auction house setting.

• All goods will be sold at a price the market can sustain.

• The clearance will be completed within a clear defined timescale.​

• ​

We believe this is a service of particular interest to Estate Agents looking to get a property fit for listing on the market, Solicitors for Probate, as well as Executors and Beneficiaries of deceased estates looking for help towards the costs of clearance.

​

Whilst this has always been a method available for larger estates, the online auction approach now opens up this facility to much more modest properties, previously thought to be too small to be worthwhile .

​

​This service is designed to speed up the process for the property to be placed on the market by completing the clearance of residential contents as quickly as possible, but could also apply to:​​

​

• Companies liquidating unsold stock

• Shops/Hotels/Nursing homes facing closure

• Compulsory purchased or abandoned properties with extensive contents to be cleared

• Agricultural storage buildings requiring complete clearance of goods stored
