Professional Team
With a wealth of property experience, our team at SDL Property Auctions will look after you and the sale of your property from start to finish.
We know that selling a property is a big decision. We are therefore pleased to offer a complete range of property services so whatever your situation, our experienced and friendly team can offer you their honest advice and expertise to guide you through the process.
There are many advantages of selling your property by auction – and it’s fast and faff-free. You can choose the type of auction that best suits your circumstances, set your own timescale and with the purchaser either exchanging contracts or paying a reservation fee to secure the property, you know they are committed to their purchase.

SDL Property Auctions holds monthly live-streamed national property auctions, all including a variety of lots including residential properties, buy-to-let opportunities, development prospects and commercial units, plus we run timed online auctions each and every day.
Selling by auction has several benefits, including the speediness of the sale. The whole process usually takes around six weeks and with no chain involved and no backing out, selling by auction is a much quicker option than selling through a traditional estate agency. This is a huge appeal to many purchasers and vendors as on the fall of the hammer you exchange contracts and the property is sold.
SDL Property Auctions has a skilled team who all have an excellent knowledge of the market. With a professional, committed and friendly approach, our team will always recommend the best option for you.
"SDL In my opinion and experience are the most honest, trustworthy, and transparent auctioneers making buying and selling at auction an experience to cherish. Being a property investor for the last 23 years, I can also confirm that whilst the property auction business is being hijacked by a very few operators who are being driven by greed, self importance, and are hell bent on profiting from others misery, SDL have always stuck to the traditional British values of decency, honesty, and integrity making this auction house a pleasure to do business with!!
Happy customer
Selling a property is difficult but it doesn't come much worse than selling in a pandemic! So having Chris Theocharides guiding me through the process was fantastic. The advice and help that I received from Chris helped make an informed decision rather than forcing me to do something just to get a sale done. This invaluable guidance meant even through the lockdown I got better result than expected. Highly recommended!
Google review
The whole experience was effective, efficient and friendly. Never having experienced anything like auctioning a property before the process was explained clearly. Even the remote nature (due to Covid) of the process was easy to navigate.
Happy vendor
It’s the first time I have used SDL, I was very impressed with the service they provided. I found all the staff who I dealt with to be friendly, professional and knowledgeable. They took care of everything and exceeded my expectations at the auction. I will use them again without hesitation.
Happy seller
