(From Hull Daily Mail)
If you feel like the bidding process will make your blood pressure rise, why not take along a sensible friend of yours to do it on your behalf.
You may be able to get your solicitor to go along and bid for you, but you will of course have to pay him for his time, whilst a friend will hopefully not charge you.
Before you start set yourself a top limit, which you positively will not exceed. It is important to be disciplined about things.
Don't worry about inadvertently bidding by way of a sneeze or yawn. Auctioneers will be looking for a hand signal from you, and if they are in doubt they will usually ask.
If you do make a bid by mistake, tell the auctioneer immediately.
Assuming that a property gets some bids, the asking price usually rises in values of GBP5000. When this amount is too much to add to the value, the increment drops to GBP1,000 and so on until there are no more bids.
