Bond Wolfe auctions surpass £1 billion milestone as 2025 delivers another outstanding year

Bond Wolfe has capped off another exceptional year of auctions in 2025, raising more than £180 million and surpassing the landmark £1 billion total sales milestone since the launch of its auction division in 2019.

Across seven live-streamed auctions during the year, Bond Wolfe offered 1,143 lots, successfully selling 998 properties, delivering an impressive 88% success rate and reinforcing its position as one of the UK’s leading property auction houses.

The strong annual performance was underpinned by sustained buyer demand from across the UK and overseas, with more than 11,000 viewings recorded across the 2025 auction catalogue.

Record-breaking results reflect confidence in the auction market

Chief executive Gurpreet Bassi said the figures demonstrate continued confidence in the auction sector, despite wider economic uncertainty.

“Reaching £1 billion in auction sales is a huge milestone for Bond Wolfe and a testament to the trust our clients place in us,” he said.

“Our 2025 results once again show strength across every metric, from lots offered and sold, to buyer engagement and competition on the day.”

He added that auctions remain a highly effective route to market for sellers seeking certainty and transparency.

“Auction continues to deliver decisive results in a relatively short timescale, which is why we continue to attract instructions from private sellers, investors, institutions and public sector bodies alike.”

Interest rates create a timely opportunity for buyers and sellers

With interest rates now at their lowest level for several years, Bond Wolfe believes market conditions are increasingly favourable for both buyers and sellers heading into 2026.

Lower borrowing costs are helping to improve affordability, stimulate competition and unlock pent-up demand, particularly among investors and owner-occupiers who had previously been sitting on the sidelines.

“We’re seeing renewed confidence as lending becomes more competitive,” Mr Bassi added.

“Combined with the transparency and speed that auction provides, this makes now an excellent time to both sell and buy.”

Next auction: Thursday 5 February 2026

Momentum is already building for Bond Wolfe’s first auction of 2026, which will take place on Thursday 5 February, with bidding available online, by telephone or by proxy.

The firm has confirmed seven live-streamed auctions for the year ahead:

• 5 February 2026

• 26 March 2026

• 14 May 2026

• 9 July 2026

• 10 September 2026

• 22 October 2026

• 9 December 2026

“With interest rates easing and buyer demand remaining strong, we expect our February auction to get 2026 off to a very strong start,” said Mr Bassi.

“For anyone considering selling or adding to their portfolio, this is a market that rewards decisiveness.”

Auctions are live-streamed via the Bond Wolfe website, with remote bidding available by proxy, telephone or internet.
