The Simple Guide to a Secure Sale with Jackson Grundy Auctions

We created our Secure Sale Solution to remove traditional selling pitfalls, delivering maximum market value with 0% sales fee. Backed by 30+ years of UK property experience, 6.5 million annual page views, and instant listings across all major portals, your property gets maximum exposure to attract more buyers.

Why Secure Sale?How It Works

Why Secure Sale?

Usually, property sellers tend to market their property via conventional methods; however, selling property via private treaty frequently involves:

  • A lengthy process.
  • No firm commitment from a buyer.
  • A high risk of the sale falling through.
  • No firm date for completion of the sale.
  • Re-negotiation of price after the sale is agreed.

Our experienced team will oversee the transaction right through to completion. At the same time, you remain in control of any significant decisions, ensuring you feel supported at every step of your property journey. Secure Sale properties come in all shapes, styles, and values.

It’s a common misconception that only run-down and distressed properties sell at secure sale; however, this is not the case. We’ve successfully sold properties all over the UK, ranging from detached family homes to stylish loft-style apartments via our tried and trusted Secure Sale Solution.

Did you know?

Less than 1% of our secure sales fall through. Compared to approximately 30% of private treaty sales in the UK.

We had a great experience with Jackson Grundy Daventry during our property purchase. In particular, Aby was outstanding — professional, approachable, and always quick to respond. She kept us well informed throughout the process and made everything feel straightforward and stress-free. We’d happily recommend both Aby and the team at Jackson Grundy."

The team at Jackson Grundy in Moulton have been fantastic supporting me with the sale of my grandmother’s property. Valuation information was well advised which led to positive marketing and productive viewings. Communication was superb and they treated us with kindness and showed great care of her property during viewings.”

Highly recommend Jackson Grundy, would give them 10🌟 if I could. Becky (the Manager) has been supportive, kind and professional. Becky went above and beyond, for example keeping me updated outside of work hours and took paperwork to solicitors for me on her way home. Thank you so much Jackson Grundy Duston.”

How Does a Property Secure Sale Work?

We will enter your property into a unique secure sale cycle with a fixed end date. Together, we agree on an attractive Starting Bid to market your property and an undisclosed Reserve Price. Once agreed, marketing of your property begins immediately via our Online Bidding Platform and all leading property portals.

Our Online Bidding Platform in Numbers

  • Total Property Value Exchanged Over £6 Billion
  • Total Properties Exchanged Over 50,000 Properties
  • Total Page Views Per Year Over 6.5 Million

*Quoted figures logged via our Online Bidding Platform since launch & page views inclusive of associated property portals

Starting Bid

This price is deliberately set below your reserve to generate early interest and momentum. A lower starting point encourages more bidders to engage, helping to create competition and drive the final sale price higher.

Reserve Price

This is the minimum price you are aiming to achieve for your property. It remains confidential between you and the Secure Sale Department, and your property will never sell below this level without your approval.

Secure Sale Date

Your property is offered to the market for a fixed sale period. At the close of the secure sale, the highest bid secures the property, provided it meets or exceeds your pre-agreed reserve price.

Commercial Property

Commercial sales involve additional factors, including existing tenants or active businesses. Our RICS-accredited team supports you throughout the process, managing preparation, marketing, and completion to ensure a smooth and efficient sale.

Viewings

We encourage buyers to start with the video tour to widen exposure and reduce unnecessary visits. Physical viewings are arranged only for qualified, proceedable buyers to protect your time and minimise disruption.

Legal Pack

Our partner solicitors prepare a comprehensive legal pack at no upfront cost. This allows buyers to complete due diligence early, helping to speed up the process and move quickly to exchange once an offer is accepted.

The Secure Sale Process

What Are the Benefits?

We will sell your property with 0% Sales Fee, meaning you keep all of your sales proceeds. There are no upfront costs to list your property, and we have partnered with solicitors who can provide you with a legal pack on a No Sale, No Fee basis. Therefore, you will only have solicitor costs to cover when your property sells.

  • 0% Sales Fee
    You can sell your property with absolutely no estate agency fees to pay!
  • Control Over the Price
    Your property does not sell for less than you allow.
  • Complete Transparency of Sale
    All bids on your property are visible via our Online Bidding Platform enabling interested parties to place offers anywhere, anytime. Enabling us to drive up the sale price as buyers bid against one another.
  • A Committed Buyer
    Your buyer is obligated to pay non-refundable fees once you accept their offer. They are then financially committed to purchasing your property at the agreed price, ensuring you a secure sale. The fees we collect from the buyer allow us to give you the full secure sale advertising and marketing without any cost to you.
  • A Timeline Which Suits You
    Your property sells quickly. The buyer must complete within timescales of 28 or 56 days, or a lengthier completion if more agreeable.
