There’s good news for local property sellers wishing to achieve a quick sale, as independent estate agent Alasdair Morrison & Partners announces an easier way to sell via online property auctions.
Alasdair says:
“Selling property through our auction method couldn’t be easier.
“We use the Modern Method of Auction which is a client-friendly process, still based around a fixed timescale to complete the sale but also offering longer periods for exchange and completion to better suit the needs of the residential buyer and seller.”
Powered by IAM Sold, the Modern Method of Auction promotes a revolutionary new property online auction system, click here to view the website.
It allows its vendors to sell their properties quickly, for the maximum market price. This property auction service is available online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Alasdair continues:
“Sellers will also be interested to hear that there are no estate agency fees to pay when selling a property via the Modern Method of Auction. Instead the buyer pays a reservation fee once the auction is completed; this is calculated against the finally selling price of the property and acts as a deposit to create greater security until exchange of contracts has taken place.”
The Modern Method of Auction provides greater flexibility than Traditional Auction by allowing the buyer 28 days to exchange contracts and a further 28 days to complete the transaction while still maintaining the security of Traditional Auction through the payment of the reservation fee by the buyer.
As a result of this, the Modern Method of Auction opens the auction market, once reserved for the professional investor or cash-rich buyer, up to normal residential buyers creating a larger market place, more interest and higher prices for properties sold than those sold via Traditional Auction.
Using the Modern Method of Auction, sellers are able to set a minimum reserve price which allows them to be in complete control of the process and they can log onto the site and see how many watchers and bids their property is receiving, making the sales process completely transparent.
Alasdair finishes:
“We are absolutely delighted to be able to offer this new auction service to our clients.
“The Modern Method of Auction offers a quick and cost-free option for vendors to sell their property in a fixed timescale, offering an effective alternative property sale solution and we firmly believe that our clients will benefit from using the Modern Method of Auction.”

More recently, the auction format has become a more popular method of buying and selling, as it has some distinct advantages:
With a Traditional Auction, exchange takes place immediately and completion is within a set period of time (usually 28 days) and secured with a deposit laid down at the end of the auction, which gives additional security to both the vendor and the purchaser.
Properties which tend to attract the most interest at auction and are therefore the most successful subjects are:
