Auction research

Track lots you are considering, work out a maximum bid from your own assumptions, and work through the due-diligence checklist before you bid.

No auction listings feed yet

Plotlumen does not have a licensed auction data feed yet, and we never copy auction catalogues from auctioneers' websites. Add lots you find yourself; we'll help you research them. Run a property report on any lot address for sold prices, EPC, planning and flood data.

⚠ A guide price is not a valuation. At a traditional auction the fall of the hammer is exchange of contracts: read the legal pack (special conditions can add costs) before bidding.

Every figure above comes from the assumptions you entered. This is not a valuation, mortgage offer or financial advice.

Where repossessed and seized homes are sold

There's no public list of homes seized by the police or confiscated under the Proceeds of Crime Act. Courts appoint receivers who sell them through ordinary auction houses, usually marked "by order of the receivers", "LPA receivers" or "mortgagees in possession" (repossessions). These auctioneers regularly sell them:

Wilsons Auctions: government and law-enforcement auctions, including Proceeds of Crime property
Landwood Property Auctions: receivership and Proceeds of Crime sales
Pugh Auctions: many lender and receiver instructions
Allsop: large national residential auctions
Auction House UK: regional auctions across the UK
SDL Property Auctions: national auctions

See repossessions and auction lots near you, then add any lot above and run a report before you bid.
