Our February and April auctions have seen 38 lots offered and 36 sold, an impressive 95%. Our success is shared with fellow franchises – Auction House UK has announced that the first three months of 2021 have been the best ever in the 14-year history of the group.

Charles Lovell, Head of Auction House Robinson & Hall, said: “These are the sorts of figures which will really make our competitors sit up and take notice! Auction House has turned into the F1 of property auctioneers – and the truth is, there’s plenty of mileage left in the tank!”

“This would be a superb set of figures in conventional times but after having to deal with a global pandemic for the past twelve months, they are nothing less than exceptional.”

“A year ago, who would have thought that a business which used to rely on holding room auctions could continue to flourish through three national lockdowns and a ban on people gathering together? It’s incredible to see how our teams have not only adapted to the new way of working, they have positively embraced it, with online auctions instantly gathering momentum and our livestream sales attracting record numbers of registered bidders. Our April auction attracted nearly 500 visitors.”

Our full April results are shown below:

A surge in the number of family homes being sold by Auction House has seen its average selling price rocket by 40% year on year across the country, from £103,400 in 2019 to £145,500 now.

The group, operating as Auction House Robinson & Hall in this area, has made over £300 million worth of property sales in the year so far, well ahead of any other residential auctioneer. Cumulative sales for 2020 currently stand at 2,300 lots sold from 2,913 offered, at a strong success rate of 79%.

Commenting on the figures, Charles Lovell, Head of Auction House Robinson & Hall, said: “The pandemic has certainly been challenging, however we have adapted and introduced working practices to keep buyers, sellers and ourselves as safe as possible so that not only are we listing more lots, we are also selling more family homes.”

At £63 million, last month’s total value of sales was the highest the group has raised in any September over 12 years of business. During the month, Auction House sold 433 lots from 533 offered, and delivered an impressive success rate of 81.2%.

Charles explained: “Clearly, the auctions market is returning to pre-Covid levels of activity. Remote bidding is now fully accepted as the norm around the country, and buyers have grown in confidence with bidder numbers continuing to rise. Sellers too are again choosing auctions, where the selling prices achieved are regularly well beyond expectations.

Sellers are demonstrating their trust in auctions, and understandably have a growing desire to sell in the current high-demand environment.”

October was one of our largest auctions to date, selling a variety of lots resulting in an impressive success rate of 88%. The full results can be viewed here.

Charles continues “We are entering the colder months, so now is a great time to sell any empty property, and with auctions you will get a quick sale.”

We are now taking lots for our live streamed 3rd December auction at 2.30pm. Deadline to enter a lot is Friday 6^th November so don’t delay! Please call 01234 362899 or email robinsonandhall@auctionhouse.co.uk
