Property auctions are very popular and whether you’re going to property auctions in Cornwall or attending property auctions in London you’ll find a wide range of property types available to buy. At auctions around the country you’ll find anything from small derelict strips of land to churches to beautiful country cottages to city flats.

These days you will find an increasing number of repossessed properties. These will have been entered into the auction by the mortgage lender. They are trying to recover the outstanding debt on the property but are often prepared to accept an amount that is below the actual value of the debt to cut their losses.

Another type of property is those sold by private sellers. These are often people who need to move quickly. This could be because of job commitments, emigration or even to avoid repossession. These sellers need a quick sale to move on.

Commercial properties repeatedly appear in auctions and some of the bigger auctioneers such as the property auctions in the North West hold separate auctions for commercial properties. Commercial properties can be anything from a vast warehouse to a tiny corner shop.

Land is another thing you can find at a property auction. If you’re thinking of buying land you should be careful as to what you are actually buying. Agricultural land is cheap but it can’t be built on. Never buy it hoping that planning permission will be granted in the future - the chances of that happening is almost nil and getting less likely with every passing year.
