Dear Olly, I just wanted to write to you to say a massive THANK YOU for all your help with the sale of our shop. As you know I met with ALL the auctioneer agents in Bristol and not only were you the most prompt with your response (whereas I am still waiting to hear from one of them!) you were honest, sincere and I felt completely at ease passing over the handling of the sale to your company. Following the circumstances that my sisters and I ended up having to deal with this in the first place, it was a huge weight off our shoulders when we needed it most and for that, we are hugely grateful. On top of all your help and advice you managed to sell the shop at 70% more than the expected price so you really have turned out to be Godsend and I will have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone in the future and to use Hollis Morgan with my future ventures. Thanks again. Kindest regards, Louise Warne

I decided to go the auction route to have a more structured sale process and not get involved in a chain. This of course would only work if the property sold. Hollis Morgan were very helpful and supportive from day one. The set viewing days/times were helpful and easy to work around. They kept me informed of the viewings and interest shown. My property sold at over the reserve price so I was therefore very happy with the whole process and the outcome. Pat Lockett BS16

I found the whole experience of the auction very exciting, from the pre-auction offers through to the auction evening where a fantastic price was reached. All the beneficiaries were really pleased. William Gardner administrator for the Douglas Lewton estate

As usual very pleased with the service provided by the Hollis Morgan team. The auction forum meant a very strong result was achieved on 30 Filton Road - better than we had expected and better than might have been achieved by private treaty. Well done! David Moore BNP Paribas- Bristol

''We have been very pleased with the service and sale prices at Hollis Morgan. Our expectations on price were low, but we achieved twice what we had budgeted for as a result of the auction process. I would not hesitate to use them again on anything in the Bristol and West Country Area'' Korax LLP
July 2013
I decided to sell a High Yield Investment Property in Clifton comprising of the freehold divided as five self-contained flats. I instructed Hollis Morgan alongside another Estate Agent on a joint sole agency basis with a long stop auction date if the Investment failed to sell by private treaty. The agreement between both agencies was on a winner takes all basis. In property career lastingover 30years in the city I have never dealt with a firm that is more efficient than Hollis Morgan. The particulars were settled within three days, the property was marketed immediately and I received an offer the following week and exchanged the week after that. The entire process from instruction to exchange of contracts took three weeks and one day and to those who say buying and selling property takes a long time they need to instruct Hollis Morgan and a speedy firm of solicitors. I cannot fault the firm in any way for the way they dealt with this matter and I can thoroughly recommend them to anyone who wants a fast, efficient and professional service. Charles Hack, Clifton

Having gone down the route of using a large national estate agents to sell my development SITE in Fishponds WITHOUT SUCCESS I instructed Hollis Morgan to place it in the auction and, if possible, get a sale agreed beforehand. It was on the market within 48 hours, best and final bids were arranged for the end of the week and it exchanged contracts for 20% more than the original estate agents said I might get “if I was lucky” – as Olly told me Auction really does mean Action! DL, London

It was with great delight that we chose to go with Hollis Morgan. From the first call, to the auction evening, it was as though Ollywas holding our hands. We were regularly informed of any updates, or concerns and everything was dealt with, professionally, yet with charm and charisma. We would not hesitate to call upon Olly again, indeed,we are currently looking for our next project. We sold our grade 2 listed building and the result was very satisfying. Until the next time. C.

"I received a friendly and efficient service from Hollis and Morgan and was very pleased with the price that the property I was selling through them at auction achieved. I believe that this price was considerably more than I would have achieved, had I decided to sell the property through an estate agent in Bristol, rather than at auction." L Smith, Bishopston

I instructed Hollis Morgan to sell a piece of woodland I owned and after discussing this with them I decided that they should put this into there next auction. The sale created a lot of interest and on the night of the auction it sold for an excellent price.

As a buyer of property throughout the UK we regularly sell properties through auction. Hollis Morgan have now acted for us on two sales and achieved strong results for us both time. What sets them aside from other auctioneers we have used is the high level of service and communication throughout the process. I was amazed they found time to deal with the other lots in the auction based on the effort they put in to selling my lot. I am sure everyone that uses them would say the same and when you livelihood depends on them you should expect no less. I couldn’t recommend Hollis Morgan highly enough. PR, London Property Company

“We had a difficult to site to sell which had been vacant for several years. Several agents had looked at it and we worked out that it wouldn’t be cost effective to market it in the conventional way and the site wouldn’t get the necessary time from agents to make it attractive to buyers. Hollis Morgan clearly had a client list who can see potential value in unattractive properties and had achieved successful sales in the past. Ollie Hollis introduced prospective buyers, organised viewings and kept us posted throughout the process however we never expected the level of interest that materialised at the auction and are really pleased with the result.” Bristol PCT -- Reserve £12k – Sold for £161k
