AIBU to ask for experiences selling property at auction

[AllThatEverWas]

Anyone in the Mumsnet hive mind have any experience selling property at auction?

I have a derelict house to sell under a POA and the buyers who have been in the scene for the last six months are beginning to cost me my sanity.

I'm trying to see if auction might be a possibility and wondered if anyone has experience of doing this?

Thanks

Edited spelling error that changed the meaning

Have you accepted an offer? Go through the solicitor and tell them if the sale isn’t complete within a certain time frame of your choosing, it’s going to auction. Auctions mean you pay a deposit as the buyer (to the agent) then have to complete within a certain period. My mum bought an auction property and had to provide proof of her ability to complete/finances in place.
