Happy 2026 and Beyond!

Happy 2026 from us all here at Pattinson Auction!

We are already halfway through January, and it’s safe to say that the year has got off to a flying start! Our BDMs (who are located all over the UK) have begun 2026 attending the main property events/conferences taking place all over the country.

The Propertymark conferences and expos that we will be attending next month are in Bristol and Liverpool on 4th Feb and 11th Feb respectively, along with several more throughout the year, before the main event in June in London. These events are sure to be full of insights into the world of estate agency, and a fantastic opportunity to network and share ideas, as well as discover more about how we can help agents offer their sellers more, and increase their agency’s revenue!

On Thursday, January 22nd, we are attending the TPFG conference (The Property Franchise Group)! And then the Belvoir Conference on 13th February where we are also proud sponsors!

We hope to see you at one of the many events and conferences coming up in 2026, all around the UK.
