How EIG can help...
The 4 key features of the EIG site that give you the best chance of securing a property at auction:
1. Coverage
We cover virtually every property auction in the UK and are constantly on the lookout for auctioneers we are not aware of, giving you the best possible coverage of the auction market near you.
2. Instant Updates
We strive to get the lots on our system and out to you as soon as they are released for sale, maximising the time you have to view the lot and do your due diligence.
3. Comprehensive Search Functionality
Our database search parameters are very detailed allowing you to be quite specific in what you are looking for.
These include:
- Detailed location input either by town, postcode etc, or drawing your own area on a map.
- Specify guide price range, specify tenure and tenancy options as well as property type.
- The results you get can be ordered by price and auction date and viewed in list or grid format as well as being displayed on a map.
4. Auction Elerts
Finally, and perhaps most importantly you can set up multiple 'Auction Elerts' where you set out the criteria of the lots you are looking for, and the moment a potential match is entered into our database you are notified by email. In addition, as soon as it has been offered we advise you whether it sold, and if so for how much, and if it didn't sell what the 'available at' price is.
This means that for very little effort nothing will come to auction without you knowing about it, and you will see the results of all lots, sold or unsold, that match your criteria.
No other service or website can come close to this.
The best way forward
Firstly, you need access to eigpropertyauctions.co.uk, as this is the only site with information on virtually every lot coming to auction and the price achieved for those already offered. In a nutshell, without the knowledge you will get from our website you will be in the dark. You will not have full visibility of what is coming up for sale and you will not know what similar properties have sold for!
To remind you of a famous quotation: "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king"!
With access to our site you will have two eyes and not just one!

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. While they provide essential information, they are built to meet minimum requirements - not to offer full transparency. And in many cases, it’s not what’s included that creates risk, but what’s missing.

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. Too often, buyers treat them as an indication of a property’s value, when in reality they are designed to signal something entirely different, the likely reserve. In an increasingly competitive and dynamic auction market, understanding this distinction is critical to making informed decisions and avoiding costly assumptions.

There’s So Much More Than the Aroma of Hot Coffee…
There’s so much more to selling a property than creating the perfect first impression. While details like fresh coffee, open windows, and careful staging can help set the scene, today’s buyers are looking for something far more important - clarity, confidence, and certainty. And that doesn’t come from how a property feels, but from how well it’s prepared behind the scenes.
