WRIGHT Marshall have secured the Cheshire franchise of Auction House.

The Cheshire franchise will work as part of the UK’s number one residential property auction house group, and comes ahead of Wright Marshall’s first auction in May.

Auction House Cheshire will be selling properties across Cheshire, as well as areas of North East Wales including Flintshire and Wrexham, at regular auctions throughout the year.

Based at Wright Marshall’s Northwich office, they are now the only auction specific branch to have opened in the town.

The award-winning business is headed up by valuer and estate agent Mark Egerton, who will have overall responsibility for all aspects of property auctions.

He will be supported by Melissa Furber as Auction House Cheshire assistant manager and co-ordinator, who has spent more than seven years working at Wright Marshall’s Whitchurch office.

Mark said: “We are delighted and excited to have secured the Cheshire Auction House franchise.

“We have always been proficient in selling homes under the hammer, but this will enable us to operate a standalone auction branch, holding regular larger combined sales at a fixed venue – something we feel will be extremely beneficial to our clients.”

Wright Marshall, which has eight offices throughout Cheshire, north Shropshire and south Manchester, said it is aiming to run an average of seven to nine larger combined auctions per year.

The company will host their Auction House Cheshire sales at The Macdonald Portal Golf Club in Tarporley.
