The Council does not generally auction its property, but has tended to use the informal tendering route. If the Council uses external agents then it would use only Chartered Surveyors only. The Council will generally invite agents to tender for the commission and depending upon the property will use local or regional agents. Examples of agents used in the past are as follows:
Regional: DTZ Debenham Tie Leung – Chestertons - Humberts Leisure – Donaldsons – Carter Jonas
Local: Chapman Preston & Hastie - Ward price – Staintons - Edward Astin & Co – Cundalls - Boulton & Cooper UK Police Property Disposal – Surrey Police Online

All found property is retained by the Police for a period of 2 months to allow time for the loser to reclaim it. The finder is then given a further month in which to claim back the property after which the property is set aside for disposal as directed by the Chief Constable, usually by sale at auction. There are normally four such auctions per year at approximately three month intervals.
