Established in 2013 by property investor Ross Harper, it is part of the Auction House UK franchise. Over the years, the company has sold more than 1,800 lots, raising over £119.7 million for sellers through 74 in-room auctions.

The Scottish branch is one of 27 Auction House teams across the country, selling over 3,300 lots in each of the last five years, and now delivering more than 200 auctions annually.

Reflecting on the past decade, Auction House Scotland’s director, Mandi Cooper, said: “From flats to family homes, police boxes to pubs, castles to churches, and reservoirs to retail units, we’ve sold every type of property imaginable over the past decade.

“Although a large proportion of our lots for sale continue to be run-down, and often unique properties, we’re now seeing more homes in ready-to-move-into condition in our catalogues as more people are discovering the speed and security an auction sale can offer vs. selling via the traditional estate agency route – with exchange on the fall of the hammer and completion within the following 28 days. This in turn is attracting a wider range of buyers to our auctions, including first time buyers looking to grab a bargain.

Ms Cooper continued: “The use of online bidding has also evolved within our industry, particularly over the past few years following the Covid pandemic, and now enables more buyers and sellers across the UK (and the world) to bid at auction.

“We’re proud to be one of the few property auctioneers in the UK that operates a hybrid auction, where people can attend to bid in the room or watch via livestream on our website and bid online, by telephone or proxy.

“This has allowed us to stand out from the crowd, and alongside our weekly National Online Auctions, truly gives our clients the greatest flexibility when it comes to buying and selling property.”

The 75th in-room and live-stream auction will take place at 2.00pm on 20 July at Glasgow’s Radisson RED hotel. A diverse array of 20 lots, with guide prices starting from £15,000, will be on offer. The list includes a remote renovation project on the Isle of Harris guided at £65,000+ and a grand eight-bedroom sandstone villa in Glasgow, with bids starting from £400,000.
