Methods of bidding

If you aren’t sure which method to use to bid, you can view our video guide that outlines the different types. Alternatively, we’ve given an overview of each type below so that you can read up on what they entail before filling out the form. All of these options require signed authorisation prior to the auction commencing, so you will need to register at least 24 hours in advance of the auction.

Proxy bidding

Proxy bidding means that the auctioneer bids on properties on your behalf, in line with the bidding in the room. You advise the auctioneer on your maximum bid, and they will try to secure the property at or below this price. If interest in the room exceeds your maximum bid, your proxy bidding will cease as the auctioneer won’t bid beyond the amount you specified and the auction will continue until a buyer is found. For more details, read through our step-by-step-guide to proxy bidding which covers the process from registration to completion of the purchase.

Internet bidding

Ideal for remote bidding, our online auctions are live-streamed so that everyone can ‘attend’ the event and bid on properties of interest with full autonomous control over your bids. Some people prefer this to proxy bidding as they like to do the bidding themselves. You’ll be given log-in information for the lot(s) you are interested in once you have registered, and when the auction commences, follow the event live and place your bids accordingly. We recommend this option only if you have a reliable broadband connection that can keep pace with a live stream.

Telephone bidding

If you still wish to control your bidding but don’t feel comfortable with an online service, you can register for telephone bidding. A member of our auctions team will call you from the auction room, and they will keep you updated on where bidding currently stands on your property of interest including as they are received. You can then instruct them to bid on your behalf as the auction is happening. You can advise them on your maximum bid in the rare case that the call connection is lost, so that they can continue bidding for you even if you aren’t on the line to avoid losing your property.
