Having been watching the numerous TV programs where by people by houses
at auctions and they do them up and intriguing. Coming from a family
that built their own house, my father is always egging me on to do the
same.

So my question is, where does one find listings for upcoming auctions
and from where? Watching the TV i notice that the auction house is not
usually local to the house they are selling.
Anyone had any experience with this?

A web search for phrases like "House+Auctions+UK" or
"Building+For+Auction+UK" or "Houses for auction, UK" should bring up a good
few hits for you to follow.

I would say that more often than not, the auction houses *are* local;
and I wouldn't think you'd want to get involved with any that aren't,
especially as a beginner. Look at Yellow Pages. Often estate agents
are also auctioneers, if yours aren't, ask them where you'd go to by a
house at auction.

Having said that, I wouldn't really recommend the auction route to a
newbie. Yes, you've got the chance of bigger gains, but it can be pretty
high-risk too.

Usually the auctions are local, but I do remember seeing one programme
where a property up north was auctioned in the midlands. I believe the
buyer got what they considered a bargain as not many northerners went
down to the auction, and not many midlanders went up to view the house.
I thought it strange at the time that the property was auctioned
hundreds of miles away, and it wasn't like it was pitched at an
exclusive clientelle. I thought the seller had probably inherited,
wanted to offload it quick, and never bothered to think about the
target audience.

The bulk of auctioned property is/was mortgage repossessions. They aren't
aimed at the general/local market but are often bought for investment by
people who will refurbish before letting or resale, often buying unseen or
on their local agent's report. (They can take that risk, I do NOT advise
that strategy for an individual buyer.) The repossession agencies will use
only a few auction houses for all its properties countrywide.

Butters John Bee do one inStoke on Trent three or four times a year - on the
one occasion I attended hoping to pick up a buy-to-let property, every price
went stupidly sky-high so i didn't place a sngle bid (thankfully)
