Property Auctions in Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset
Focused on the South West counties of Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset, Charles Darrow’s property auctioneers provide specialist auction advice on all types of property and land.
Any type of land and property can be sold successfully at auction sales. But many agents have no experience or specialist knowledge of the process and don’t offer auctions as a method of sale.

Common questions
How does a property auction work?
We appraise the property and prepare the legal pack, then market it ahead of the auction. Buyers register and bid; the winning bid commits to the purchase, with exchange and completion typically in 20 working days.
What can be sold at auction?
Houses, flats, HMOs, commercial property and land, with or without planning consent.
Can I sell a probate property at auction?
Yes. It gives executors a clear timetable and a sale once the reserve is met.
What is a receivership sale?
A sale by a receiver or insolvency practitioner, often for a lender. Auction demonstrates an open market sale at the best price on the day.
Why auction rather than open market?
Speed, certainty (no chains or fall-throughs), and transparency, every bidder has an equal chance to bid.
What's the South West market doing right now?
About half of residential lots sell within 10% of guide price. Demand for larger homes has risen since the Renters’ Rights Act (1 May 2026), as some landlords choose to sell rather than re-let.
Can you let or lease commercial property instead?
Yes, our commercial team handles lettings and leases too. See Commercial.
