Strakers hold regular Land and Property Auctions offering an interesting variety of Lots throughout the year and with many years of experience are widely recognised as the leading auctioneers in the region.
As buying and selling at auction has become more and more popular in the Wiltshire area we have expanded our business and spread our wings into the neighbouring areas of Bath, Bristol, Gloucestershire, Somerset and Hampshire.
Over our 6 auctions in 2009 we achieved a sold rate in excess of 85% selling over £14 million worth of property. Due to our ongoing success our auctions usually attract an audience of approximately 500 and as such is often filmed for the BBC’s Homes Under the Hammer television series.
