If you are thinking of selling your estate, farm, business or estate assets, the auction method is in many cases create advantages for the buyer and seller that traditional property listings cannot match. When you decide to sell your assets, note these advantages why you must consider the auction method. Give Ian Whittock today for a no-obligation consultation!

Defined time to sell the property

With a known auction date, we know exactly when your property will sell. The date of the auction creates a sense of urgency with potential buyers and the auction process will put your property in the spotlight for all to see. The seller is in control of the timing which means he controls the financial impact of carrying costs.

The terms of the sale Is managed by the seller. The seller, with recommendations from the auction firm, sets the terms and conditions for the auction. Once they are established, all buyers attending will follow the same pre-determined rules allowing the seller to maintain a sense of control throughout the auction process.

Competitive Bidding

The price of your property is negotiated upwards by means of competitive bidding by the interested buyers. The current market value of the property is what a buyer is willing to pay at the time of sale.
By negotiating multiple bids one at a time, auctions can establish value and eliminate guessing of the price.

Convert your assets to cash quickly

Real estate sales usually close in 30-45 days after the auction date. This can eliminate the months or even years that a traditional real estate listing can remain on the market. Sellers of farm and construction equipment, business and estate assets benefit greatly by the ability to sell all their assets at once without the burdens associated with individual sales. Clients for non-real estate sales are paid in full by the auction company the week following the auction.

Making a claim can be an emotional upheaval.  It usually means there has been a disruption to someone's life and often people want someone there to help them through. These claims are filed by the policyholder directly with the insurance company or by brokers or agents representing the policyholder.  This can also be looked at as the filing of compensation as stipulated in the insurance contract between the policyholder and the insurance company.

Once a claim has been forwarded to the insurance company by the insured person, the claims department of the insurance company starts its process. Together with other assisting staff, the claims adjuster will be tasked with the duty of looking into the claims made and confirm that the insurance contractual terms cover the claims made. If covered, the claims adjuster will calculate a monetary value of the claim made and approve payment. The claims adjuster usually maintains communication with the policyholder throughout the process. The insured person is also at liberty to engage the services of a public claims adjuster to negotiate a reasonable amount of money on his or her behalf.

Importance of claims service includes;
• The policyholder is given a chance to enjoy a reasonable amount of money to compensate for the loss suffered.
• In an event of loss or damage of an insured property, claims services will ensure that the insurance company has been alerted of the same within the time-frame stipulated.
• The policyholder will also get the necessary advice on whether the claim made is covered or admissible as contained in the insurance contract.

The importance of a claims service is ensuring a person gets what is rightfully appropriate for him to restore normalcy. In this way, the insured person gets the compensation to what was lost or damaged. Here at Evoque Claims & Appraisals, we provide the best claims services in the UK.
