Property Auctions in Bristol – Goodchild Estate Agents | NAVA Auctioneers
At Goodchild Estate Agents Bristol, we are specialist Bristol property auctioneers offering a professional, transparent and highly effective auction service for residential property, land and development opportunities.
While traditional private treaty sales suit many homes, property auctions in Bristol can be the ideal solution for the right property and the right circumstances. Auctions offer speed, certainty, transparency and commitment – and when handled correctly, can achieve outstanding results.
As one of the few independent estate agents in Bristol with genuine auction expertise, we provide clear, honest advice on whether auction is the best route for your property. We will never push auction unless it is genuinely in your best interest.

Our Auction Services in Bristol
We offer three specialist routes depending on the property and your objectives:
___________________________________________
Timed Online Auction – Bristol
A timed online auction is a modern, flexible and highly effective method of sale.
Ideal for sellers who want:
• Control over timescales
• Lower entry costs
• Wide online exposure
• Competitive bidding without a physical auction room
Your property is marketed across all major portals and channels, with the auction running over a defined period. The seller remains fully in control of start and end dates, and the bidding process is completely transparent.
This is increasingly popular for Bristol investment property, land and development opportunities.
____________________________
Individual Public Property Auction – Bristol
This is the most traditional form of property auction.
Your property is sold:
• Individually
• Without being lost in a multi-lot auction catalogue
• Either at the property itself or at a public venue
This allows full focus on your asset, serious bidders only, and a clear, decisive sale.
Exchange takes place at the fall of the hammer, with the usual auction conditions applying.
Ideal for unique properties, high-value homes, or development sites.
______________________________
Informal Tender / Best and Final Offers – Bristol
An informal tender is a sealed-bid process where:
• All offers are submitted in writing
• Bids remain confidential
• Buyers can include conditions (e.g. subject to planning)
• A fixed deadline is set for best and final offers
This can be particularly effective where:
• Uplift or overage is possible
• Planning potential exists
• Competitive interest is expected
It creates urgency while allowing flexibility – and often delivers excellent results.
