What Lotwick covers

2,141 live lots from 30 auction houses, read from each auctioneer's own public catalogue. Every lot links to the auctioneer's page, where you register and bid.

How fresh is it?

• Catalogues are re-read every 4 hours, and every 2 hours in the 3 days before a sale.
• Lots selling in the next 2 days are re-checked one by one every 6 hours, and again whenever someone opens the lot page if it's been more than 2 hours.
• Before a Paddle alert is sent, the lot's status is checked with the auctioneer again.
• Each lot page shows when its status was last checked.

Statuses

Available, sold before auction (sold prior), sold, sold after auction, unsold, withdrawn and postponed, as published by the auctioneer. A lot that disappears from an auctioneer's catalogue for more than 30 hours is shown as withdrawn.

Guide prices

Guide prices are as published by the auctioneer. They are not sale prices, and lots often sell for more. Some commercial lots are published without a guide ("on request").

Property types

House, Flat, Bungalow, Land, Commercial, Mixed use, Development, Garage & parking, Ground rent and Other. Studios count as 0 bedrooms.

Places

Districts are local authority areas, so a district can include more than one postcode area. For example, Leeds includes some WF postcodes. Search by a town or village name to search by distance, or by an outward postcode such as LS19.

Photos

We don't copy auctioneers' photos. Lot images are Google Street View of the street, where available, and are never stored.
