The smarter way to sell: Moving with confidence into 2026
As we head towards 2026, many homeowners are asking the same question: What’s next for the property market?
With cost-of-living pressures, shifting interest rates and political changes on the horizon, sellers are looking for more certainty – and that’s where the Modern Method of Auction (MMoA) continues to stand out.
Our latest Partner Estate Agent Survey found that agents see MMoA as a secure, transparent and future-ready way to sell – helping homeowners move forward with confidence, whatever the market brings.
Certainty in a changing market
When we asked agents what they believe will shape the property market in 2026, five key themes emerged:
-
Government and tax changes (69 mentions) — from potential new property taxes to wider policy uncertainty.
-
Rising living costs (64 mentions) — ongoing affordability challenges for many buyers.
-
Interest rates and mortgages (61 mentions) — continued high rates are shaping buyer decisions.
-
Market confidence (48 mentions) — some sellers remain hesitant to move amid uncertainty.
-
Legal delays (6 mentions) — slow conveyancing continues to frustrate movers.
All of this points to one clear trend: sellers want to move quickly, securely and with peace of mind — and auction offers exactly that.
Why more sellers are choosing auction
MMoA gives you control from day one. You set your Reserve Price, agree your timeline, and let your Estate Agent and auction team do the rest.
Because buyers are committed once the auction ends, you’ll have certainty that your sale will complete – without the stress of fall-throughs.
It’s a transparent, straightforward process that gives sellers confidence, even when the market feels unpredictable.

Sellers across the UK are discovering that auction isn’t just a faster way to sell – it’s a smarter one.
It gives you:
✅ A transparent and competitive process
✅ A committed buyer from day one

As 2026 approaches, MMoA is helping more homeowners achieve the certainty they need to plan their next move.
