What is it like at a property auction? Heres a quick guide to what to expect.
• Property Auction rooms welcome anyone who swells the crowd, who is dressed reasonably whether they’re going to bid or not, and who will keep fairly quiet during the property auction. • There is always a constant to-ing and fro-ing of people. You can arrive and leave whenever you like, but try not to distract people while bidding on a lot is taking place. • It’s not unusual to arrive late or leave after the lot you’re interested in, but you should try not to miss the property auctioneer’s opening speech and announcements. • Property Auctioneers often seem to comment on vacant seats available at the front of the property auction room, even though lots are no more expensive whether you are sitting at the front or the back. Use the empty seats if you want to, but it’s also good to stand where you can see any other bidders.
