Leading the revolution in property auctions
Howsold has pioneered the modern property auction experience, making it accessible, transparent, and efficient for both buyers and sellers.
What are property auctions?
Property auctions are competitive sales events where properties are sold to the highest bidder. They offer a fast, transparent way to buy and sell property with legal completion typically within 28 days. Unlike traditional sales, there's no lengthy chain process—once the hammer falls, the sale is legally binding.

Buyer Testimonials
"I never thought buying a property could be this straightforward. Howsold made everything so easy, from placing the bid to getting the keys. I felt in control the entire time, and I knew exactly where I stood. Honestly, I can’t imagine going back to the old way of buying a home!"
"The whole process was quicker than I expected, and the transparency was a real game-changer. With all the other properties I’ve bought, it always felt like I was left in the dark. Howsold kept me informed at every step, and I felt like I had a team behind me."
"I’ve bought several properties in the past, but using Howsold was a completely different experience. No chains, no last-minute surprises — just straightforward and fair. I was able to bid on a property and know exactly when it would be mine. Simple, quick, and stress-free."
Seller Testimonials
"Selling my house with Howsold was the best decision I made. The process was so much easier and faster than I expected. I even got more than I anticipated because of the bidding system! I couldn’t recommend it enough if you want a stress-free sale."
"I’ve sold homes in the traditional way before, but with Howsold, I had far more control. I set the terms, and the bidding made sure I got a fair price. Plus, there was no endless waiting around for buyers to pull out. I had a buyer locked in and the process was done within weeks."
"What I loved about Howsold was that there were no surprises. I knew exactly what was happening at every stage, and I got a price I was happy with. Selling through them was straightforward, quick, and I didn't have to deal with endless viewings. If you're looking for a reliable way to sell, I highly recommend them."
Estate Agent Testimonials
"Partnering with Howsold was a no-brainer for us. The extra revenue from the 50/50 split on the reservation fee has made a huge difference to our bottom line. It’s a simple process and we’re getting results. It’s a win-win for both us and our clients."
"I love how easy Howsold makes the whole process. We no longer waste time on fall-throughs, and we get paid quickly for our efforts. The model allows us to offer clients a better solution, and in turn, it helps us win more business. It’s been a great partnership."
"Since we started working with Howsold, our revenue has increased, and our clients are happier. The bidding system is a fantastic way for sellers to get a better price, and we’re able to focus more on what we do best—selling homes. It’s made a huge difference in our day-to-day operations."
"I’ve been an estate agent for over 15 years, and working with Howsold has been one of the best decisions for our agency. We’re seeing more properties come in, more sales closing quickly, and less time spent on admin. The 50/50 split on the reservation fee is a huge benefit for us."
Everything you need to know
1. What is Howsold?
+Howsold is a modern property platform that allows you to buy and sell homes quickly, fairly, and securely. We offer a streamlined process with fixed timelines, reducing the uncertainty often associated with traditional property transactions.
2. How does Howsold work?
+We use the Modern Method of Auction (MMoA), which combines the benefits of traditional auctions with the flexibility of private treaty sales. Here's how it works:
For Sellers: You set a Reserve Price (the minimum amount you're willing to accept) and a Starting Price. The property is marketed online, and interested buyers place bids over a set period.
For Buyers: If you are the winning bidder, you're required to pay a Reservation Fee to secure the property. This fee is typically non-refundable and ensures that the property is reserved for you.
Completion: After the auction ends, both parties proceed to exchange contracts and complete the sale within a fixed timeframe, usually 56 days.
3. Why should I choose Howsold?
+Speed: Traditional property sales can take over 100 days to complete, sometimes longer. With Howsold, the process is typically completed within 56 days, providing a faster and more efficient experience.
Security: Both buyers and sellers are committed to the transaction, reducing the risk of deals falling through.
Transparency: All bids are visible to all parties, ensuring a fair and open process.
Zero Seller Fees: Sellers can list their property with zero cost, making it a cost-effective option.
4. Can I buy a property with a mortgage?
+Yes, you can. The Modern Method of Auction allows time for buyers to arrange financing, making it accessible for those purchasing with a mortgage. However, it's advisable to consult with your lender to ensure you and the property meet their criteria.
5. What is a Reservation Fee?
+A Reservation Fee is a non-refundable amount paid by the winning bidder to secure the property. This fee ensures that the buyer is committed and that the property is taken off the market. The fee is typically paid within a specified period after the auction ends.
6. Are there any additional costs?
+Yes, there may be additional costs, including:
Fees for buyers to be aware of: Buyer Information Pack: Covers the cost of preparing legal documents and information about the property.
Fees for both parties to be aware of: Solicitor Fees: Buyers and sellers will need to appoint solicitors to handle the legal aspects of the transaction.
It's important to review all costs before proceeding to ensure you understand the financial commitments involved.
7. How do I register to bid?
+To register, simply visit the property listing on our website, and provide the necessary details. Once registered, you’re in! Keep an eye on the count down and bid. Note: in some cases sellers could accept pre-auction offers.
8. Can I view properties before bidding?
+Absolutely. We encourage potential buyers to arrange viewings to ensure the property meets their expectations. Contact the listing agent to schedule a viewing.
9. What happens if the Reserve Price isn't met?
+If the highest bid doesn't meet the Reserve Price, the seller isn't obligated to accept it. However, they may choose to negotiate or accept the highest bid if they wish.
10. How do I get started?
+Getting started is easy:
Register: Sign up on our platform to gain access to properties and auctions.
Browse: Explore available properties and find one that suits your needs.
Bid: Place your bid and, if successful, pay the Reservation Fee to secure the property.
Complete: Work with your solicitor to complete the purchase within the agreed timeframe.
