Online Auction Index: HY1 2026
Welcome to Auction Index, the industry’s only dedicated report exploring the UK residential online auction market.
With the upcoming changes to Stamp Duty Land Tax set to take effect in April 2025, homeowners are increasingly turning to Auction to secure the current rates before the deadline.
Our most recent data shows there has been a significant surge in Auction activity, with properties sold up by 17.3% in the last three months alone. Bidding activity has also risen by a one-third compared to last year, driven by the approaching tax changes and the growing consumer confidence in the Auction process.
