SINCE 1825, for the last 191 years, Parsons Son & Basley have been selling properties by public auction and will, as one of Brighton and Hove’s last remaining truly independent auctioneers, continue to do so.

Technology has changed immeasurably since we were founded allowing us to offer properties for sale not only locally, but nationally and internationally, whilst remaining true to our origins, beliefs and reputation. That foundation and belief is based on being able to offer clients the best advice possible whilst providing them with all of modern technological advances available, which will shortly include our state of the art, bespoke online single property auction, tailored to meet our client’s individual requirements.

Of course, online auctions will never replace the buzz, drama and excitement of a crowded auction room; however, we believe such a product will sit nicely alongside our tried, trusted and traditional method of sale.

In the past, established independent firms sold out to large corporate entities or became part of a national franchise and perhaps whilst doing so, lose their identity. This is not something we wish to consider because we have no need as we can offer ‘good old fashioned’ customer service to our clients, complimented by a huge twist of modern day ethos and technology that will hopefully see us through the next 191 years.

If you are interested in how our bespoke online auction works or have a property you'd like to sell, we are still accepting entries for our February auction.
