Actual purchases. Clearly labelled evidence.

The detail behind the deals.

Explore two examples from Dominic’s auction teaching material, including the purchase price, valuation context and questions a buyer needs to investigate.

These examples are drawn from Dominic’s property auction teaching material. Estimated values and comparable sales are not realised sale proceeds or profit. Costs and works must be assessed separately.

Read the figures properly

Price, value and profit
are different things.

Purchase price

The amount paid for the property, before any separate purchase costs or works.

Estimated sale value

An assessment used when evaluating the opportunity. It is not evidence that a sale at that price has taken place.

Comparable sales

Nearby transactions that provide context. Differences in size, condition, tenure and timing still need to be considered.

Profit

The result after proceeds and all relevant costs are known. Neither example on this page states a realised profit.

Apply the same discipline to your search

Ask for the
supporting evidence.

For a proposed purchase, ask what supports the value, which costs remain uncertain and which assumptions need checking. Consider whether it fits your budget and intended use even if the projected outcome changes.

These examples illustrate the way Dominic discusses opportunities. They are not a list of properties currently available for sale.
