Joining them, will be Savills Auctions and Oxford Investigation Services, who will also be sharing their experience and service offering to delegates on the day, and The Empty Homes Network are hugely grateful for their support!
Bevan Brittan
Bevan Brittan is a UK-Top 100 national law firm, providing legal and advisory advice within the housing, local government and health and social care sectors.
We work in partnership with a range of local authorities and social housing providers to effectively implement their empty homes strategies.
Latest Government figures estimate over 650,000 empty properties in England. Our experienced legal team have been assisting local authorities to bring these empty properties back into use by advising on disrepair issues, anti-social behaviour, compulsory purchase orders, and enforcing sales to recover costs.
Visit our stand during the conference and find out how we can help you effectively implement your empty homes strategy.
Auction House
Auction House is a national brand with a local presence. We work with local authorities across the country to sell empty homes in as little as 28 days. Selling with Auction House promises a fair, honest and transparent sales process. We work on behalf of the vendor to sell properties for the best possible price in the shortest possible timeframe. With a national database of property investors and developers, properties can be sold and renovated quickly and returned to the housing market. Among many other benefits, here are the three key reasons to sell at auction. Speed: Selling at auction is quick, in fact there is no faster way to sell a property. From the point of instruction through to completion, the whole process can take as little as eight weeks (sometimes less). Certainty: Selling at auction provides certainty of sale as contracts are exchanged on the fall of the gavel and the sale is legally binding. Price: Properties for sale at auction often sell in excess of the guide price and once the hammer falls, there is no room for negotiation.
Savills
Founded in 1998, Savills Auctions has been bringing empty homes back into use for 25 years, with over 20,000 successful sales equating to more than £6bn in value. Our strategy is simple: focus on the method which delivers the best price for our clients in the current market. Our bespoke approach to auctions mirrors the advantages of previous “ballroom” sales via a live-stream approach with an auctioneer driving the bidding, coupled with the accessibility and transparency of an online-only sale delivered by our personalised tech platform. Our multi-sector offering delivers enhanced cross-selling across all lots and attracts a wider audience than single-market auctioneers, and as part of a trusted international brand our scale gives us wide-ranging specialist and local knowledge. We take pride in providing best-in-class advice as we help individuals, businesses and institutions make better property decisions. We have tens of thousands of bidders registering with us each year and continue to achieve excellent sold prices on well-priced lots.
