7th Oct Gaining the Upper hand in the Auction room David Sandeman 2.15 pm Rm 2
8th Oct Gaining the Upper hand in the Auction room David Sandeman 4.00 pm Rm 2
As the shortage of new build property remains, and seems likely to remain a reality in certain parts of the UK (especially London and the South East), many investors have identified the auction room as a sensible source of new property investments. But for those unfamiliar with the environment, traditions and protocols, the auction room can seem a forbidding place to enter. This this really should not be the case. In this session, David Sandeman (the UK's definitive commentator and information source on UK auctions) will debunk the myths and mystique surrounding auctions and prepare the auction buyer for what to expect and why they should take this important property source very seriously.
8th Oct Under the Hammer - Auction Question Time David Sandeman 2.45 pm Rm 5
The aim of this session is to dispell the myths and mystique, highlight the opportunities and answer the questions you were perhaps reluctant to ask. Holding the gavel at this session is Essential Information Group's founder David Sandeman and a panel of experienced auction industry practitioners representing several sector specialists. These will include: Auction House Scotland, Clive Emson Auctions and Together.

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.
