Summer is traditionally a quieter time in property, but here at Sage & Co Auctions, we’re gearing up for a dynamic auction yet taking place from the 18th – 20th August 2025.
With a strong lineup of mixed-use, residential, and development-ready lots, this event promises a surge of interest from buyers ready to move quickly.
What’s Fueling the Buzz?
Auctions Going Global
The rise of online auction platforms across Europe is making high-end properties accessible to international buyers. As the Financial Times notes, premium listings – whether luxury flats or châteaux – are being snapped up through competitive virtual bidding, blending exclusivity, speed, and transparency.
Sage & Co is expanding its digital reach to tap into this appetite: we’re optimizing for virtual viewings and targeting buyers in the UK, Ireland, and mainland Europe.
Speed & Certainty Remain King
In fast-paced markets, sellers increasingly want certainty and fast completions. According to The Times, auction sales surged nearly 47% compared to the previous year, driven by the appeal of firm sale dates and binding contracts.
That’s exactly what we deliver at Sage & Co Auctions: fixed auction dates, legally binding sales, and swift turnarounds – ideal for clients needing dependable timelines.
Competitive Pricing Still Winning
Industry-wide data shows UK auction volumes rose by over 10% between 2023 and 2024, while total funds raised increased by nearly 14%, with July being one of the busiest months.
This reflects robust demand and confirms our approach: marketing smartly, setting sensible guide prices, and driving competitive bidding.
