Welcome to Dawsons Auction House
Dawsons have the longest standing, fully independent Auction department in the Swansea area.
At Dawsons, auctions have long been an established and trusted part of our service offering, providing an alternative, structured route to buying and selling property.
While auctions were once often misunderstood, perceptions are changing. With increased visibility in the media and growing interest from buyers and sellers alike, auctions are now firmly moving into the mainstream as a proactive and considered choice. For many, the appeal lies in the clarity they offer, a defined timescale, a transparent process, and a focused approach to bringing buyers and sellers together. You can explore this further in our blog: From misunderstood to mainstream: why property auctions are back in the spotlight
A modern approach, built on experience
With a dedicated auction department, Dawsons combines decades of experience with a modern approach to property sales.
As the market has evolved, so too has the auction method, from traditional in-room auctions to online formats that open the process up to a wider audience. Today, we offer a flexible approach that reflects how people want to buy and sell property, while maintaining the structure and certainty that auctions are known for.
After adapting to changing times in recent years, offering the successful online auction method since 2020, we also held an auction in 2025, the live in person auction took place on March 5th 2025 at the Swansea.com stadium.

Tailored advice for every seller
We understand that no two property journeys are the same. That’s why auctions sit alongside our full range of services, including traditional private treaty sales, allowing us to provide tailored advice based on your property, your circumstances, and your goals. Whether you’re looking for a defined timeline, a transparent process, or simply exploring your options, our team is here to guide you every step of the way.
Recognised for Excellence
We are proud to share that Dawsons Auction House were recognised as the Property Auction Specialist of the Year at the Wales Prestige Awards in July 2025, our department’s first-ever standalone accolade. This award underlines our commitment to innovation, professionalism, and community focus, qualities that sit at the heart of our auction service.
Our auction department has evolved, offering faster, more secure, and stress-free methods of sale to suit every need.
Formed in 1991, Dawsons can provide expert advice across a complete spectrum of Property, Land, Commercial, Investment, Agriculture and Industrial.
Speed, Secure, Transparency
We understand one of the toughest decisions when selling your home is determining the most appropriate method of sale to maximise your return, fit with your timescales as speed may well be the determining factor, together with having a committed buyer.
As you would expect from Swansea’s leading agent, we can provide you with the option of three methods of sale, whether that is Traditional Auction, Online Auction or Private Treaty.
Our highly experienced and knowledgeable teams will be happy to discuss with you the pros and cons and more importantly what is best suited to you, so that you can be safe in the knowledge you are getting best advice.
We can sell everything from houses, to land, to commercial buildings and even churches. You can sell any type of property/land via auction. The process is faster than the usual way of selling (private treaty) and far more secure as the buyer must exchange contract immediately, put down a 10% deposit of the agreed sale price and complete on the transaction within 28 days.
If you have an empty property that is part of a deceased estate, a rental property that is now vacant, an investment that you can no longer finish, a property surplus to requirements, a plot of land, a commercial property, garage etc.
Get in touch with us and find out how much it is worth and how quickly we can get it sold for you. For more information and for a FREE VALUATION give Dawsons Auction Department a call on 01792 478903 or email on auction@dawsonsproperty.co.uk.
