About the County Property Auction
The County Property Auction was set up six years ago to serve clients' needs for a collective auction house offering wide coverage and a thorough service whilst attracting local interest, often unachievable through the London auction houses.
Auction gets the job done!
Offering property for sale by auction is a different route to market. Indeed selling by auction offers several distinct advantages over the more traditional private treaty route. All interest is brought together in a competitive environment, within a defined timescale, on your terms and with a legally binding sale.
Your objectives
A client's objectives are as important as the property itself in formulating a strategy for the sale. When advising on sales we will always consider whether a property is more suitable for a sale by auction or private treaty.
Property types
Auction suits a wide range of property types
• Residential Property Requiring Modernisation
• Unusual Buildings for Redevelopment
• Probate Properties
• Investment Properties
• Houses with Sitting Tenants
• Commercial Property
• Building Plots & Development Sites
• Individual Houses of Character
• Farms & Land
• Woodland, Lakes and Amenity Land
Rapid results
The entire process, from instruction to exchange of contracts can take less than eight weeks, far quicker is normally achieved through private treaty sales. We are continually appraising property for entry into our auctions so please call now on 01522 504360 to discuss your requirements.

A selection of vendors' comments
"I have now sold two properties using The County Property Auction and would recommend the service to anyone".
"The attitude and efficiency of all staff involved was always highly professional. Communication was excellent and at no time did we feel as vendors that we were not kept up to date with progress. We would recommend JHWalter to other vendors without hesitation."
"We used the County Property Auction to sell two plots of land and we were very impressed with their quality of service. They clearly know what they are doing and they pitched the marketing and guide price perfectly. The high quality brochure they produced and the large distribution to their contact list attracted high quality interest in the plots. We were very pleased to sell both plots prior to auction at a fair price and would have no hesitation of recommending them to others wanting to sell through their auction."
"After receiving a number of offers prior we were keen to accept, however the auction team advised us to proceed to auction where we achieved a fantastic result on both lots of land. My partner said there is no point visiting the doctor if you don't take their advice!"

Auction suits a wide range of objectives by offering a swift sale within a defined timescale. This proves popular to trustees of deceased estates, who are looking for a fair and open sale within a defined timescale.
Empty property, when not managed, can deteriorate and become a security and safety risk. A sale by auction offers arguably the quickest route to disposal.
Where a property's value may be in dispute auction offers a fair and transparent means to achieve the true market value.
Our vendors
We have been entrusted with business for a wide range of clients including executors, solicitors and their clients, and the Court of Protection, all of whom were looking to transact property swiftly, in an open and fair environment.
Vendor comments
Below are just a few comments from those acting for deceased estates;
"I was selling a very difficult property on behalf of an estate. I feared that such a property was going to be difficult to sell by private treaty. The property was well advertised, generated good interest and sold for more than I had been offered prior to the auction. The sale was handled very professionally and I was very pleased with the outcome."
"JHWalter sold my late mother's house for me earlier this year. The service I received was very professional. I was kept in touch every step of the way and the staff were efficient and friendly. I would recommend them to friends and family without hesitation."
"We and our executor clients are delighted with the service provided by the County Property Auction, which has achieved a very satisfactory sale of a property in need of some tlc, against a backdrop of a very difficult market for residential property."
"'As a Trustee for a family estate that were seeking to sell a local farm, the advice from JHWalter to use their property auction has been invaluable. Their thoroughness, attention to detail and effective marketing helped achieve a sale of all 9 Lots. A welcome result."
