A comprehensive guide to the rapidly expanding, but relatively unknown way of buying your next property at a bargain price. Learn everything you need to be a success in the auction room.

Every week, hundreds of commercial and residential properties are sold at auction in Britain, often at bargain prices, with owner-occupiers accounting for a growing proportion of buyers. What's attracting them is the chance of picking up genuine bargains in the face of otherwise inflated prices in the property market.

In this bestselling guide, recently revised and updated for its fourth edition, author Howard Gooddie, a property auctioneer with 45 years' experience, spells out how straightforward the auction route can be and divulges the tips and practices of this relatively unknown world.
