Changing the perception of auction

Auction offers a clear path, where interested buyers compete for your property, helping you secure the best price within a set timeframe. No back-and-forth negotiations, no last-minute surprises. It’s a straightforward, transparent process with a firm completion date, giving you both speed and certainty.

Modern Method of Auction

The Modern Method of Auction (MMoA) offers a transparent, efficient process, combining traditional auction speed with Private Treaty flexibility, ensuring exchange and completion within 56 days.

This method offers quick but more flexible timescales of 56 days from receipt of draft contract to completion.

The more flexible timescales allow interest from first-time and mortgage buyers as well as investors.

You have security as the buyer commits to purchase by paying a non-refundable Reservation Fee and signing a Reservation Agreement.

Auctioning your property is a great option for a fast and secure sale. The process may seem complex, but with our expert guidance and the simple steps below, your auction journey will be smooth, efficient, and stress-free.

1

Search

Auction properties can be found on major property search engines, or advertised with our Estate Agency Partners. You can also search on www.iamsold.co.uk.

Viewing

We would always recommend viewing any property you are considering. You can book your viewing through the Estate Agent and afterwards the iamsold team will be in touch to discuss your feedback and potential interest in bidding.

Buyer information pack

If you plan to bid, you need to carry out your due diligence before proceeding. To help you, each property has a Buyer Information Pack and we highly recommend that this information is reviewed carefully or with a solicitor before bidding.

Sale method

Information will be available about how your chosen property is being sold; this will either be via Traditional or Modern Method of Auction.

Our experts answer your questions

If you have any more questions or need further details, feel free to explore our guides or reach out to our team. 

It’s essential to do your research on the property and comparable sales in the area. Consider your budget and any additional fees, such as the Reservation Fee. We also provide insights and guidance to help you determine a competitive bid.

If you win, you’ll need to pay a Reservation Fee within a specified time frame, typically 2 hours after the auction closes. You’ll also have a set period (28 or 56 days) to complete the purchase, so ensure your financing is ready and your solicitor is instructed.
