Last year house prices increased over 80% in one area of Greater Manchester, according to data from the Land Registry.

Heywood saw an 86% increase in the average cost of homes sold from £78,000 in 2016 to £145,000 in 2017.

The town of Heywood lies between Rochdale and Bury and has excellent transport links, close to the M62.

Hopwood is very popular with a good choice of schools. The shortage of both semi-detached and detached properties in the area is the main reason for the price rise and houses in good condition and marketed correctly do not stay on the market for long.

What Are The Benefits Of Selling At Sharpes’ Auction?

Zero entry fees

We do not charge an entry fee to market your property at auction. What’s more, we operate on a no sale, no fee basis, meaning there’s absolutely no cost to you if your property fails to sell.

Fair and open process for both vendor and buyer 

With high demand property, the transparent nature of auctions means that bidders can’t be gazumped at the last minute. The vendor manages to achieve the best possible price with competitive bidding. Setting a realistic guide price increases buyer interest and in some cases vendors can achieve more than they would if they sold it via private treaty.

Contracts are exchanged at auction

Once the hammer falls, the sale is guaranteed and legally binding and contracts are signed. Even offers accepted before or after the auction are all subject to the same auction conditions.

Secured Deposits

Together with exchanging contracts, buyers must pay a non-refundable 10% deposit on auction day, which they forfeit if they fail to complete. They pay the balance of the purchase price on completion.

Quick completions and certainty of sale

Sales can be completed in as little as a week to 28 days meaning you have a concrete timescale and no costly delays which is normally the case with properties sold via the traditional estate agency process.

Extensive marketing

Our auctions are held on a regular basis. The frequent nature of property auctions means that we carry out intensive marketing both online through social media and property portals and via our full colour catalogue. Furthermore each property benefits from our highly visible and distinctive auction boards which maximise purchaser interest. We also have a database of investors that we keep updated with new properties on the market.
