I talk to some of the leading Auctioneers in the UK to get their views, opinions and recommendations in today’s uncertain yet extremely exciting market.

“In the last 15 years there’s never been such a good time to fill your boots with properties at knocked down prices. For example, in Honiton, Devon, in summer 2007 we sold a house in a ‘Coronation Street’ type setting for £124,000 at auction. A house in the same road, in the same condition sold by auction last week for £66,000."
