Pugh Auctions: questions

When is the next Pugh Auctions auction?

See Pugh Auctions' website for its sale dates: Auction Watch does not read its catalogue yet.

What fees do Pugh Auctions charge buyers?

It depends on the lot. Most Pugh Auctions lots carry a buyer's administration fee, and some add the seller's costs to the price. The figures are in each lot's special conditions of sale in the legal pack: read them before you bid, as they are payable on top of the hammer price.

How do I bid at Pugh Auctions?

Register with Pugh Auctions on its website before the sale and have your identity checked; most auctions now take bids online, by phone and by proxy. If your bid wins, you exchange contracts there and then and pay the deposit, usually 10% of the price, and complete within the time in the special conditions, usually 28 days.

Where do I find the legal pack for a Pugh Auctions lot?

On the lot's page on Pugh Auctions' website, which usually needs a free account there.

What does Auction Watch add to the Pugh Auctions catalogue?

Nothing yet: we do not read Pugh Auctions' catalogue. For the houses we do read, we check every home inside the M25 against the EPC register, price it using sold prices nearby, and grade it A to E, free.
