How is this so called "modern method of auction" "a flexible buyer friendly method of purchase"?

Upon close of a successful auction or if the vendor accepts an offer during the auction, the buyer will be required to put down a non-refundable Reservation Fee of 4.2% to a minimum of £6,000.00 including VAT which secures the transaction and takes the property off the market. Fees paid to the Auctioneer may be considered as part of the chargeable consideration for the property and be included in the calculation for stamp duty liability.

MODERN METHOD OF AUCTION

This property is for sale by the Modern Method of Auction which is not to be confused with traditional auction. The Modern Method of Auction is a flexible buyer friendly method of purchase. We do not require the purchaser to exchange contracts immediately, but grant 28 days to achieve exchange of contracts from the date the buyer's solicitor is in receipt of the draft contracts and a further 28 days to complete. Allowing the additional time to exchange on the property means interested parties can proceed with traditional residential finance. Upon close of a successful auction or if the vendor accepts an offer during the auction, the buyer will be required to put down a non-refundable Reservation Fee of 4.2% to a minimum of £6,000.00 including VAT which secures the transaction and takes the property off the market. Fees paid to the Auctioneer may be considered as part of the chargeable consideration for the property and be included in the calculation for stamp duty liability. Further clarification on this must be sought from your legal representative. The buyer will be required to sign an Acknowledgement of Reservation form to confirm acceptance of terms prior to solicitors being instructed. Copies of the Reservation from and all terms and conditions can be found in the Buyer Information Pack which can be downloaded for free from the auction section of our website or requested from our Auction Department. Please note this property is subject to an undisclosed reserve price which is generally no more than 10% in excess of the Starting Bid, both the Starting Bid and reserve price can be subject to change.

What a strange place.
Storage heaters put in at some point (70s, 80s?) but no other work done.
Wonder if it's been empty for years & the changes to empty property council tax have forced their hand.

What changes? Being Newham a London Borough I dont think there have been any recent changes that would affect it that drastically?

After some long seconds of deep thought I have realised what was missing from MSE's finest thread:- A price constant. A property reference point that anchors all that is 'right' about the (programmed) British psyche.
I humbly submit the perfect 3 bed semi in, where else? Pinner.

With the constant in place I can now post https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-83473433.html

(Please don't spoil it by mentioning certain Scottish property transfer taxes:mad:)

Time for my medication.

I assume it's a massage table in the last photo and not an ironing board that someone sat on by accident.

It's very nice, but if you can spend just a little more you could have this pretty castle with an island

or for the same money, a 3 bed flat in Hampstead

Steep steps or a ladder? Either way this bedroom is for young, not tall, not clumsy owners only.
