129 New London Road, Chelmsford, Essex, CM2 0QT, Chelmsford
As one of the UK’s leading independent auctioneers, we bring over 30 years of experience to every sale. From residential investments to vast country estates, we offer unbiased appraisals and a high-profile platform for sellers and buyers across Southern England and beyond.
Independent Auctioneers Since 1989
We started with a simple mission: to create a high-profile, independent auction facility where quality and service come first. Since our first auction in 1989, we’ve grown from a small Kent-based firm into one of the UK’s leading land and property auctioneers. Today, we offer over 1,000 lots every year across eight scheduled auctions, supported by a dedicated team of over 30 experienced professionals.
Why Sellers and Investors Trust Our Team
What sets us apart? We are run by auctioneers, not just administrators. This means we provide honest, unbiased appraisals for everyone—from private individuals and executors to local authorities, statutory bodies, and major receivers. We understand that buying or selling at auction can feel daunting, which is why we prioritise transparency and expert guidance at every stage.

From Coastal Cottages to Commercial Investments
Our catalogues are as diverse as the properties we represent. We don't just sell houses; we sell opportunities. Our expertise spans:
- Residential & HMOs: Substantial investment opportunities, detached houses, and multi-unit blocks.
- Commercial & Mixed-Use: Shops, offices, and industrial units with part-vacant or full investment potential.
- Land & Development: From small plots with potential to large agricultural acreages and sites with planning permission for holiday lets or residential builds.
- Unique Projects: Period buildings, derelict barns, stables, and even grand country estates set in dozens of acres.
Covering Southern England and the West Country
While our roots are firmly in Kent, our reach is extensive. We operate five regional offices that ensure we have local boots on the ground across:
- The South East: Kent, Sussex, Surrey, and London.
- The West Country: Cornwall, Devon, and the Isle of Wight.
- East Anglia: Essex and Norfolk.
- The North: Strategic lots in areas such as Windermere.
"Our commitment to quality, honesty, and service remains as unchanged today as it was when we offered our first 42 lots over three decades ago."
Whether you are navigating a probate sale, looking for your next renovation project, or selling a commercial portfolio, we provide the speed, transparency, and high-profile exposure that only 30 years in the rostrum can deliver. We invite you to explore our current lots or speak with our team for an unbiased appraisal of your property.
