When buying or selling a home – The Modern Method of Auction (MMoA)..
Facing some unexpected bumps in the road can be common, but that doesn’t make it any less frustrating. Whether a delay, the sale falling through, or something else, it might have got you wondering if there could have been another way. While Private Treaty is the most common method of buying and selling in the UK, and the right fit for a lot of people, there is another method that is quickly growing in popularity.

If you’re looking for a faster, more secure way of buying and selling property, auction more accessible than you might think. We as an independent Estate Agent now offer MMOA as well as Private Treaty and will be able to talk you through which method is best suited to your circumstances and moving priorities. Glenn will support you to sell your home successfully as my Auction specialist here in South Manchester.
