Passed at auction — still need to sell

Passed at auction. Still need to sell.

The reserve didn't meet. You're paying ongoing costs on a property with no buyer. We've worked with sellers in this exact position — we have buyers who were put off by the auction process but will buy the same property post-auction at a fair price.

We have a 'fallback buyers' list — investors who specifically track post-auction lots in the 3 weeks after an auction fails.
⏱ Match in 7 days · Settle in 6-8 weeks

How it works for your situation

  1. Tell us the auction guide price and what the highest bid was.
  2. We approach buyers in our network who specifically look for unsold auction lots — they expect post-auction discounts but won't lowball.
  3. We aim to settle within 6-8 weeks so your cost-of-carry stops accumulating.

What we'll need from you

  • The auction guide price and the highest bid received
  • The reserve price (if you're willing to share)
  • The full address and current monthly costs

What we sidestep (and the standard alternatives)

  • Relisting at auction 3 months later and paying another 2% + VAT
  • A new estate agent who'll spend 3 months 'testing the market'
  • Selling for less than the highest auction bid just because the buyer chain collapsed

Questions people in your situation ask

What if my auction reserve was optimistic?

Tell us. We'll tell you honestly what our buyers would pay. We've seen auctions where the highest bid is 25% over what we can deliver — and vice versa.

Do I have to pay the auction house fees again?

No. Post-auction sales are private treaty sales — you keep the property on the market under our deal, no second auction fee.

Can you buy it before the next auction?

Yes. If you want certainty, we can have a buyer in place before the next bidding window. You don't have to go through the auction cycle again.

Seller Acknowledgement Agreement

PARTIES: This Agreement is between the Seller ("you") and Rapideal Marketplace Ltd ("Rapideal").

1. RAPIDEAL'S ROLE: Rapideal operates a property marketplace. We introduce buyers to sellers. We are not your solicitor, conveyancer, financial adviser, or valuer. We do not guarantee a transaction will complete.

2. YOUR PRICE: The asking price is set by you. Rapideal provides an indicative valuation estimate, but the asking price is yours to determine. You are not obligated to accept any offer.

3. SELLER FEES — NO SUCCESS FEE: Listing your property on Rapideal is free. There is no success fee, no introduction fee, and no charge deducted from your sale proceeds. Sellers receive the full agreed price.

4. PREMIUM UPGRADE (OPTIONAL): You may upgrade to the Premium tier (£149 + VAT one-time) for priority placement, professional photography, conveyancing referral, valuation referral, a live deal dashboard, and price-drop protection alerts. This is optional — the free tier gives you full access to the buyer network.

5. PRICE-DROP PROTECTION: If any buyer's offer falls more than 5% from their initial expression of interest to their instruction-stage offer, this is flagged in your deal dashboard. You are under no obligation to accept a reduced offer.

6. FREE EXIT GUARANTEE: You may withdraw your submission at any time before exchange of contracts — for any reason, with no charge, no penalty, and no obligation.

7. EXCLUSIVITY — 12 MONTHS: For 12 months from submission, Rapideal is your exclusive introduction agent via the Platform. If you complete a sale with a buyer first introduced by Rapideal during this period, no success fee applies — but the introductory relationship is acknowledged.

8. SOLICITOR: You will instruct your own independent solicitor to handle the sale. Rapideal may share your details with specialist partners relevant to your situation (e.g. conveyancers, surveyors).

9. ACCURACY: You confirm all information provided is accurate to the best of your knowledge and you have the legal authority to sell the Property.

10. GOVERNING LAW: This Agreement is governed by the laws of England and Wales.

Your indicative asking price: £To be set by you — you may change this at any time before accepting an offer.   ·   No success fee. No deduction from proceeds. Free exit guaranteed.

No commitment. No obligation. 100% confidential.
