How To Find Property Auctions in Your Area

By John Catral


If you want to find property auctions in your area the best place to start are your local estate agents or property management companies. They will know which companies in your area specialise in selling properties at auction. At an auction you are more likely to find good value properties both residential and commercial.

The main reason people sell a property at auction is that they need to move the property quickly, which is the key reason you can find so many bargains at a property auction. However, you have to be careful when buying a property at auction to find one that does not have debts attached to it. Or if you do not mind paying off that debt you can still buy that property at auction, but should know how much that debt is and factor it into your bid.

The best property auctions have their own websites on which they advertise properties as they become available. It is wise to use those auction houses because you can keep an eye on what is coming up for auction and do some research on properties before you put bids on them.

It's easy to search the internet in order to find property auctions taking place near you. Just type what you want to find into a search engine and the results should come up. However, make sure you read their site carefully to make sure that the company is an experienced facilitator of auctions and has a good reputation. Ask estate agents in your area for their recommendations and don't be scared to place a call to a local property auctioneer and ask questions.

Another way of finding local property auctions is to look for empty properties in your area and see which auction house has that property up for sale. If there is no board up outside the property and you can find the owner and ask them to tell you who they are selling it through.
