EIG’s North-West region recorded 1,055 auction sales in July–September 2026, down 11.4% year-on-year.

Lots offered were almost unchanged, falling just 0.5%.

Similar supply, fewer sales: sellers cannot assume last year’s approach will deliver the same result today.

Do not start with “How quickly can it sell?” Start with “What will make a buyer commit?”

My seller checklist: a realistic price, strong photographs, viewing access, clear property information and a prepared legal pack.

Then choose a sale method that fits your property and circumstances.

Selling in Greater Manchester? DM “AUCTION” with the postcode, property type and your preferred timescale.

More properties entering auction does not mean every seller gets a result.

UK residential auction entries rose 8.1% year on year in September 2026, while sales fell 1.1%.

My takeaway: give buyers a reason to choose your property. Start with evidence-based pricing, clear information and presentation that earns attention.

North West long-term empty homes rose 10% in the 2025 figures cited by Action on Empty Homes. That is a signal to pay attention locally, not proof that every property is a deal. Owners need realistic advice on condition, value and timing.

An inherited property can sit untouched while everyone works out the next step. Even without a mortgage, insurance, maintenance and security may still need attention. Put the decisions, decision makers and likely timescales on one page before choosing an estate agent, auction or another route.

Ask us for a route comparison.

Of the 4,903 UK lots offered in September, 3,230 sold. That leaves 1,673 lots not recorded as sold in EIG’s figures.

For buyers, unsold stock can be worth investigating. For sellers, it is a reminder that a sale is never automatic.

The important question is why a particular property did not sell.

DM me UNSOLD to discuss your next step.

UK auctions offered 4,903 lots in September 2026, according to EIG.

More choice gives buyers more properties to compare. It does not make every lot a bargain.

Before getting excited about a guide price, ask what the property is worth, what work it needs and what your total purchase cost could be.

Save this before your next auction search.

Action on Empty Homes reports 124,064 homes in the Class F council tax exemption category following an owner’s death. Inheritance can bring grief, paperwork and several decision makers. There is no reason to rush a sale, but it helps to understand holding costs and the routes available.

Talk through an inherited property.

A price you need and a price buyers will pay can be two very different numbers.

Across EIG’s North-West region, the July–September auction success rate fell from 72.4% to 64.5% year-on-year.

That is a reason to review your pricing against actual completed sales, not hopeful listings.

DM me SELL with your property’s postcode to start a conversation.

A boarded-up house, a probate property and a furnished second home should not be treated as the same situation. The national total combines categories with different circumstances. The first step in helping any property back into use is understanding what has actually happened.
