House Auction

House Auction explores the exciting and nerve-shredding world of buying a property at auction.

Given that investment in a home is likely to be the single-most expensive outlay a person is likely to make, the split-second decision arena of the auction is a stressful place to be.

Property expert presenters James Gibbons, Emma Basden and Eleanor Davies examine and advise house-hunters making a foray into the house auction, giving them tips on how to bag a bargain home.

House auctions used to be primarily the preserve of property developers, but more and more members of the public have been utilising them to try and bag a cheap, dream home.

However, it can be a risky business, because even after carrying out costly surveys on a wanted property, a must for the safe-buyer, an auction can spiral beyond one's means of paying for the house.

Which all makes for television that is both exciting and informative about what steps to take when approaching a house auction.
