On the 100th day since the lockdown began (1st July), SDL Auctions became the UK’s most successful live-streamed online auctioneer.

Auction houses have been reporting record levels of interest as sales have moved online during the COVID-19 crisis, says Richard Reed.

The SDL Auctions team pulled together in a marathon team effort for the company’s first ever national property auction, which raised £7.7 million for sellers.

Auction firm reports a “marathon team effort – 115 Lots in 7 hours” held behind closed doors, entirely online and offered nationally.

Andrew and Rachel Parker have already helped raise £100,00 for good causes in the past but now ask the industry to dig deep for their latest charitable effort.

More and more homes are going up for auction and under the hammer. Andrea Kirkby explains how agents can get in on the auction action.

The auction giant says the move is in response to requests from its vendor clients to switch selling fees on to the buyer.

Physical events in distant halls limited buyers’ involvement – now online auctions are building a huge success for auctioneers and estate agents.
