This new edition of Howard Gooddie's classic is more relevant than ever during the current credit crunch. Every week increasing numbers of properties
- both residential & commercial
- are sold at auction in Britain as more houses are repossessed & generous finance is no longer available. Auction rooms are now filled by a growing proportion of private individuals looking for genuine bargains. Property auctions are in author Howard Gooddie's blood. He comes from a family of auctioneers & was head of one of the country's leading auction houses. He has brought the gavel down on literally thousands of lots. In this fourth updated edition of his best selling guide he elegantly spells out just how straightforward the auction route can be & divulges the tips & practices of this still relatively unknown world. This guide
Features: how to find your bargain; contracts; finance; bidding & winning your bargain; after the auction; insider's guide to an auction house; selling your property at auction check-lists; & directory of auction houses.
