The Company:

Howkins & Harrison LLP is an established firm of property advisers committed to helping our clients in the residential, commercial and rural property sectors.

With a regional network of offices we provide a comprehensive service which encompasses the Midlands region as well as a residential sales agency which is enhanced through our involvement with The London Office.

Our Auction department goes back to our founding days in 1888.

The role will be based at our head Rugby office, but your work will cover the whole of the Midlands region aiming to build our successful auctions brand at our other rural offices (Ashby de la Zouch, Towcester and Atherstone).

The types of sales currently undertaken and additional duties are as follows:

You will win the instruction, negotiate the terms, agree on a marketing strategy, oversee the preparation of the catalogue, contact prospective buyers, oversee sale day logistics and deal with enquiries or questions after the sale.
