A UK property auction house and consultancy with teams in London, Leeds and Manchester, which says it brings property and people together.
Allsop describes itself as the UK's largest and most successful property auction house, and it also offers advice across commercial and residential property. In an auction, a property is sold in public to the highest bidder on a set day, and the sale becomes binding when the auctioneer's hammer falls. Besides auctions, Allsop's site lists investment and development advice, professional services such as valuation, planning and lettings, central London office leasing, and sector advice for areas such as student accommodation, retail and industrial property. It also runs an auction service for councils and housing providers.
The company says it has been bringing property and people together for 120 years. We could not find a page naming its founders or giving a founding date, so we cannot give a precise history. Companies House lists several UK companies, including Allsop Auctions Ltd and Allsop Ltd, and a separate Allsop LLP is described on the company's publications site as a consultancy business.
Allsop says its mission is to remain an independent partnership and to work only in markets where it can excel and make a lasting difference. It describes its culture as open, friendly and honest, and says its approach rests on high-quality service, integrity and putting people first. It lists commitments on social responsibility, diversity and inclusion, and environmental impact. These are the firm's own words.
In the UK, its teams are based in London, Leeds and Manchester. It also has an alliance with the Millennium Group in Hong Kong for international reach. Andrew Boyd is named as Senior Partner. One news item on its website describes it selling its biggest single lot under the hammer at its first commercial auction of the year, showing the scale of deals handled. Allsop also has a connected Ireland practice, according to a search result.
The company says staff and clients often stay with it for a long time. Jobs include auctioneers and auction managers, valuers, agents for commercial and residential property, lettings and property managers, planning specialists, researchers, and legal, finance and marketing staff. Confidence with numbers, clear speaking and an interest in how places change are all useful. The Allsop website lists current roles. Working at a smaller partnership in three cities can suit people who want to be close to senior colleagues and see a whole deal from start to finish.
