Flat Sale By Auction

[Ric.ror]

I’ve seen a flat for sale by ‘modern method of auction’ not the traditional auction method and is not something I’m familiar with
There is a starting bid price which I think is too much. Could I still offer below that price?

No ad you'll have t pay the auctioneers a % commission as well to the auction house. We buy at auction and we're not fans of this method. Is this a North East auction house by any chance? :/

[Ric.ror]

Yes it is
Is that a particularly north eastern way of doing it?

Sorry I misread your answer
It’s through a local estate agent
