My personal (unprofessional) opinion is this:
Short Answer: Whoever bought the domain would not be able to use if for business purposes protected by the classes of the trademark, so there's little point in them buying it.
Long Answer:
Once a trademark has been taken out on a non-generic term, it will prevent anyone other than those who already owned a domain involving that non-generic term using a domain involving that non-generic term for the commercial purposes which are covered by the classes of the trademark taken out. This means that subsequent to the trademark, anyone trying to buy a domain involving this non-generic term could not use it for the business classes protected by the trademark.
In terms of intellectual property law, then trademarks are the strongest entity available, so if you take one out you can then freeze other new entrants using domains involving your trademark who did not own the domain prior to your trademark.
Where a term is generic, i.e. should be available for general use, this may not apply, as you could use a "generic defence" where you can say the term should be available for everyone to use, e.g. satnavsystem.co.uk should not be trademarkable in my opinion.
