'This book provides a clear, step-by-step guide to what happens both before and after the auction. For anyone taking their first step in buying a property by auction, this is an excellent initial investment.' --The Letting Update Journal
Product Description
This new edition of Howard Gooddie's classic is more relevant than ever during the current credit crunch. Every week, increasing numbers of properties - both residential and commercial - are sold at auction in Britain as more houses are repossessed and generous finance is no longer available. Auction rooms are now filled by a growing proportion of private individuals looking for genuine bargains. Property auctions are in author Howard Gooddie's blood. He comes from a family of auctioneers and was head of one of the country's leading auction houses. He has brought the gavel down on literally thousands of lots. In this fourth, updated edition of his best selling guide, he elegantly spells out just how straightforward the auction route can be and divulges the tips and practices of this still relatively unknown world. This guide features: how to find your bargain; contracts; finance; bidding and winning your bargain; after the auction; insider's guide to an auction house; selling your property at auction check-lists; and, directory of auction houses.

An interesting guide which takes some of the mystery out of the world of property auctions.
Whether you are looking to buy a new home for yourself, or purchase property to develop/let, this book clearly illustrates the pros and cons of buying at auction. It assumes no previous knowledge of the subject and presents a clear step by step guide to what happens both before and after the auction.
The author is clearly well versed in the world of auctioneering. He does an excellent job of explaining the auction process and exposes tactics used by auctioneers and bidding strategies.

If you are considering, toying with the idea of buying at auction you MUST HAVE THIS BOOK IT IS THE ONLY ONE YOU NEED. The book covers all subjects in depth without blinding the reader with too much information, from how the auctioneer portrays himself at auction to the financial side to completing the sale.
I was only toying with the idea a few weeks ago and now am on my to making the dream come true!!!

I found this book as a basic one for buying property in auctions. I found this is the basic for build a strategy and a business plan. No doubt you cannot start to invest in auctions without this book. One of the best so far I read, you can avoid gross mistakes and you can save thousands in auctions and avoiding pitfalls. One of the most interesting list is the list of auctioneers as well as the details of organizing a business plan before the auction, have ready the bank in your side, the valuation, the project and the survey, read it, it is fantastic, you cannot ask really more for the price.
