UK Property: Modern Method Auction Sales Rise 14.5%
Lomond data shows UK modern method auction sales rose 14.5% year-on-year, indicating growing market adoption.
New data from Lomond, a network of lettings and sales agents, indicates that modern method auction (MMoA) sales are gaining significant ground in the UK property market. This alternative sales route has seen a notable increase in activity over the last twelve months, reflecting a shift in how properties are being transacted across the country.
The latest figures reveal that house purchases conducted via the modern method auction have risen by 14.5% year-on-year compared to the previous year. This growth suggests that the MMoA model is becoming an increasingly popular option for market participants seeking faster or more flexible transaction timelines.
While the data highlights a clear upward trend in auction-based sales, the specific reasons behind this shift remain tied to the broader preferences of current market conditions. The 14.5% increase underscores the growing relevance of this method within the wider landscape of UK residential property transactions.
