Property Entries Invited: Sell Faster with 88% Success Rates

Inviting property entries at Palace Auctions London offers great selling opportunities. Our transparent auction process boasts an 88% success rate, unlike traditional estate agencies, which often face chain collapses and long delays. Whether you’re downsizing, upsizing, settling estates, or managing investments, our 7-field submission process—based on solid research—helps your property find motivated buyers in 30-45 days, ensuring competitive prices through open bidding.

Q4 2025 market conditions show stable annual growth of 1.3-2.8%, improved buyer affordability at 5.75x earnings ratios, and a 4.6% year-on-year rise in mortgage approvals. Now is the perfect time for auction selling.

Our innovative approach has no upfront fees, offers free professional valuations, and includes extensive marketing on global platforms—all while adhering to the

Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023, effective 18 November 2025.

Why Choose Palace Auctions?

Superior Success Rates and Speed

Traditional sales face many hurdles today. With 14.3% of agreed sales falling through and average completion times of 90-150 days, sellers endure months of uncertainty. Properties needing price cuts take 2.4 times longer to sell, while the South England market shows a 9% rise in stock levels, leading to pricing pressure. Palace Auctions changes this. Our 88% success rate far exceeds traditional methods. Properties exchange contracts right after the hammer drops, completing in 30-45 days. The transparent auction environment encourages competitive bidding, often exceeding reserve prices by 10-15%. Non-refundable 10% deposits also reduce buyer withdrawal risks typical in conventional sales.

Zero Upfront Costs, Maximum Value

Unlike estate agents that demand upfront fees or lengthy agreements, Palace Auctions operates exclusively on a success basis. We provide professional photography, premium portal listings, targeted social media campaigns, and direct marketing to over 50,000 registered buyers—all without initial costs. Your property gains global exposure through our partnerships with international platforms, reaching Middle Eastern buyers with 77.6% success rates and Chinese investors with 76.7% completion rates. This broad reach benefits unique properties, development opportunities, and premium London estates, where international competition drives higher prices.

Current Market Opportunity

Q4 2025 Seller Advantages

October 2025 offers great selling conditions driven by several factors: Interest Rate Benefits: The Bank of England has lowered rates to 4%, the lowest in two years. This opens up buyer pools and boosts competitive bidding. Five-year fixed mortgages average 4.3%, making homes more affordable. The house price-to-earnings ratio is at a decade low of 5.75x. Seasonal Motivation: Autumn sellers are more committed, with buyers keen to complete before Christmas. This urgency creates competitive auction rooms, leading to strong results.

 

Properties entered now can benefit from our special festive auction on 18th December, which historically achieves 12% price premiums.

Regional opportunities: London and South England face 9% more competition, but Northern regions excel. Cities like Newcastle, Glasgow, and Belfast report 7-12% annual growth, offering chances for portfolio restructuring. Scotland’s 17.3% yields attract significant investor interest.

ECCTA 2023 Compliance Advantages

The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 requires identity verification from 18 November 2025. This could delay unprepared sellers. Palace Auctions offers full compliance support, including:

• Automated identity verification systems.
• PSC (People with Significant Control) registration assistance.
• Overseas entity ROE registration guidance.
• Enhanced due diligence for complex structures.
• Professional ACSP (Authorised Corporate Service Provider) partnerships.

 

Entering early ensures a smooth verification process, avoiding the rush as deadlines approach. Our dedicated compliance team manages all requirements, ensuring your sale proceeds without delay.

Property Types We’re Seeking

Residential Properties

Palace Auctions welcomes all residential properties, with strong demand for: Family Homes: 3-5 bedroom properties in good school areas command premium prices, with family buyers competing fiercely. Current inventory shortages—construction approvals are at 40-year lows—create seller advantages. Investment Properties: Buy-to-let portfolios benefit from demand for yielding assets. Properties with sitting tenants are especially popular, eliminating void periods. Renovation Projects: Properties needing updates attract developers and private buyers looking for value. Our marketing highlights potential, often achieving 20% above “tired” sales. Unique Properties: Character homes and converted buildings thrive at auction. Emotional bidding drives prices, while traditional agents struggle to value unique assets; auctions reveal true market value.

Commercial and Development Opportunities

Professional investors seek: Development Sites: Land with or without planning permission attracts competitive bidding from regional and national developers. Our database includes over 500 active development companies. Commercial Investments: Retail units, offices, and industrial properties with secure income streams command strong yields. International investors particularly target London’s commercial assets. Mixed-Use Properties: Buildings combining residential and commercial elements attract diverse buyers, creating competitive dynamics that drive prices up. Portfolios: Multiple property lots benefit from auction efficiency, allowing for entire portfolio sales within a single 30-day window.
