Martin Roberts, famous for presenting the popular BBC TV series 'Homes under the Hammer' recently launched his new book 'The Property Auction Guide'. 

EIG were very pleased to be asked to contribute to the content and provided the latest data and comparative statistics for the industry.
 
'The Property Auction Guide' is a practical, in-depth guide to everything you might need to know about buying property at a UK property auction. It details the wide variety of normal and unusual properties found in auctions, and highlights and explains to the reader what to look out for. TV's Martin Roberts condenses his many years visiting and reporting on auction properties into a single, must read for any aspiring property investor.
 
In commenting about EIG in the book, Martin said:    

"It is the only site on the web that not only has full information on every property coming to auction, ideal for finding your next lot, but also full information on every lot, including price, that has been offered at auction. This provides an invaluable source of comparables and market knowledge. 

In addition you select where you want to buy and as soon as matching properties come up you are notified by email.

A 'must have' tool for any prospective auction buyer, and one I would not be without."

The Most Important Document in the Legal Pack? The One That’s Missing.

Legal packs are often treated as the definitive source of truth in a property transaction. But in reality, they are anything but complete.

Guide Prices: Why Buyers Should Treat Them as a Guide to the Reserve

Guide prices are one of the most misunderstood elements of the auction process.
