Congratulations on the purchase.

Just my 2 cents. I don't like auctions or tenders and completely endorse other comments here. They are usually a sneaky way of agents getting you to pay for the advertising without them digging into their outrageous commissions.

However there are 2 situations where they are justified:

1 When a property is unique eg. a converted church, or an architect's orgasm. Nothing else like it around to compare.

2 When the vendor has no rational idea of what the real market value is. A tender or auction brings a helpful bucket of cold water to the party. Of course the agent could have been honest at the start but then they'd have lost out to some other greasy colgate blazer-wearing slimeball who'd promise anything to get the listing.
