Most people learn how auctions work by buying something at one. It's an effective method. It's also an expensive one.
This is a Discovery Evening, so instead of a twenty-minute slot squeezed in before the sandwiches, we're giving property auctions the whole evening: buying, selling, negotiating and the bits in between.
Paul Ribbons brings nearly 40 years and 800-plus deals of buying from the floor. Olivia Boulting and Andrew Binstock bring the view from the rostrum, which is to say they know exactly what you're thinking when you raise your paddle.
Three hours. Three auction veterans. No buyer's premium on the questions.
A practical evening on how property auctions actually work, from both sides of the rostrum.
Property trader, author and speaker with nearly 40 years in the UK market, across estate agency, mortgages, auctions and trading. Over 800 deals in conditions he describes as good, bad and diabolical.
Three decades of auction trading. He doesn't rely on rental income or capital growth: the profit is locked in on the day he buys. Creator of Find It, Fund It, Flip It.
Director and Auctioneer at Strettons, selling residential, commercial, land and development property across the UK. Over 15 years in estate agency and auctions, with a reputation for straight-talking advice.
She advises investors, developers and private clients on auction strategy and the best route to market. You may also know her as a property expert on BBC's Homes under the Hammer.
CEO and co-founder of Auction House London, and one of the UK's most experienced property auctioneers. He's been on the rostrum since 1999.
He's also a sought-after charity and corporate auctioneer, with events at venues including Blenheim Palace. Expect energy. Possibly a little Chelsea.
