Very impressed

I’ve been very impressed and pleased with the service I’ve received from Neal he was very helpful and went out of his way to help, especially when he travelled in his own time to retrieve a key ! Also Sam was a practical voice in the office when I received a pre-auction bid and I ended up sold before auction! Thanks SDL I highly recommend you.

SDL sold my property for above the reserve price

SDL sold my property for above the reserve price, which was great, my only negative comment was the day before, I was by the estate agent to reduce the reserve price from consultation with SDL as they weren't sure it would make the reserve price. I didn't get the voicemail until the day of the auction which made it difficult to act. Upon questioning why? They said only 5 persons had registered with another 3 trying to register that day, This made me wander... I was told 700-800 persons register for each auction, the fact that buyers have to register to the indivual property was not disclosed, so I may have gone out to private treaty instead as there may have been more potential for buyers instead of the 5 I had.

A Real Professional Company!

Your staff were very responsive from day 1, either instant replies or no later than 1 working day normally. The whole auction procedure was quite straight forward and easy to follow. The advise on auction prices was professional and achieved our goal of a quick sale. And lastly, thanks for the solicitor recommendation that helped us to meet the April auction deadline. We are very happy that our unit could be sold within a month. Now we are waiting for the solicitors to close the deal for us.

This is the first time I have ever dealt with selling a house through Auction and I would definitely recommend it .. I have mainly dealt with Dean who has kept me informed at all times .. I have never had any problems with the service from SDL .. and my house was sold prior to the auction due to interest .. thank you SDL

SDLauctions - professional outfit.

My whole experience with SDLauctions has been top draw. Sales (where they market and review and list properties) was brilliant. It was fast, efficient and sincere with realistic pricing. The auction itself was a professional affair with the added bonus of being able to watch it live stream. Post sales has been second to none. They have been communicative, a pleasure to work with, efficient and above all professional.As an outfit they are a class act. I am a very pleased customer and would recommend them to anyone who wants to sell or buy

Brilliant service

I found Jim Demitriou ,an SDL auction valuer, extremely insightful and helpful to me as an investor developer. Jim contacted me promptly after my initial enquiry and has followed through providing me with details of potential opportunities that may suit my criteria. Jim is a very friendly and comunicatable gentleman and I look forward to doing further business with him in the future.

Rachel, and the SDL team, are very good at what they do!

The team at SDL Auctions are all very helpful. I would like to single out Rachel Clarkstone, in particular, who really went out of her way to provide excellent help and advice during my first auction experience.Rachel was very quick to reply to emails (even in the midst of the coronovirus pandemic). I would recommend SDL Auctions highly for anybody looking to buy or sell property.

Fantastic service

Fantastic service. Auction went live 12th December. Bid accepted 19th December higher than the guide price. There was a lot of interest and sale was completed well within timescales. Kept informed and chased progress all along the way. Would definitely recommend and use again if I was selling. Took out a lot of time wasters and great if you want a quick sake.

Excellent Friendly Staff!

Recently bid and won a property at auction. I had been very nervous about bidding at auction having never done it before. Sarah Barfield was excellent she talked me through the whole process (several times) and was always at the other end of the phone ready to answer all my many questions in a friendly and professional manner. Thank you Sarah!!

Can not fault this excellent company.

I would like to thank everyone at SDL auctions, especially Andy Thompson, who dealt with a very difficult sale with professionalism and competence. They persevered when the going got tough bringing the sale to a happy conclusion. I was very impressed with their genuinely caring attitude, unbroken communication and helpful advice. I would highly recommend this company to anyone considering a sale by auction.

generous and honest enquiry follow up

Jim Demitriou follow up to my online enquiry was generous in his time for discussion and answering questions, and, in his words " brutally Honest" as to whether an auction was likely to give the best financial outcome and what, as a family, we needed to consider and agree before making up our minds. Such honest discussion rather than the other typical hard sell conversations gives you so much more confidence in the company when looking for a service.
