Awful. The Auction team add no value to the process. They charge a huge fee and offer zero extra vale, if anything they confuse matters

We experienced significant challenges throughout our dealings with IAMSOLD. From the beginning to the eventual failed completion, there were issues with transparency regarding the vendors, their readiness to sell, and the condition of the property.
One of the few tasks for their substantial reservation fee ...

Hi, Joseph. Thanks for sharing your concerns here.
The non-refundable nature of the Reservation Fee is disclosed on our website, our Buyer's guide, the Bid Registration, our Terms and Conditions, and the Reservation Agreement. This fee is paid to reserve a property exclusively to the Buyer for purchase in the Reservation Period.
I hope this provides some clarity.
All our best,
Josh

I am sorry to see that you remain unhappy and frustrated after exhausting our complaint procedure, and with the outcome of the Property Ombudsman review back in 2021.

Hi Asad,
I can confirm that our position delivered to you in our final formal response remains the same.
The non-refundable Reservation Fee (as well as being clearly advertised in our marketing materials, terms and conditions, buyers guides, and reservation agreements) was discussed with you multiple times before your final offer was accepted.

Hi, Lucy. Thank you for your feedback.
As mentioned on the other review platform, The Appeals Process is there to give Buyers the opportunity to challenge the Review Panel's decision to retain the non-refundable Reservation Fee. We will respond to you within the stipulated timescales and if you remain dissatisfied with the outcome you may then approach The Property Ombudsman.
Many thanks,

Thanks for your reply.
But why using viewers names to make money.
You cannot force people to pay with out registered on your website or made a bid on properties.
You can put these therm on you website for your bidders so they have to agree before that.
