Buying Property at Auction

If you proceed to auction without having the legal pack checked, solicitors are unable to renegotiate the terms of your contract, as this is finalised as soon as the hammer goes down. This is why our auction property solicitors in London always advise you to let us check the legal pack before buying at auction.

Once your bid is accepted at auction, the hammer will come down and you will be required to sign the contract. That contract means that you have exchanged and thus you are legally bound to purchase the property. If we discover subsequent problems after your exchange when buying at auction, then you run the risk of losing your deposit or buying a property which might not be the dream property you were expecting.

It is imperative that when attending an auction, you ensure you have sufficient funds in place to proceed with the purchase within the stated timescale for completion. It’s also important to remember that the timescale is not always the same, so you need to check this beforehand or let our specialists auction property solicitors review the papers and we will confirm the timescale to you.

When buying property at auction we would suggest that where possible you inspect the property and carry out a survey, as there is no obligation on the seller to disclose any structural defects in the property. Therefore, by taking a close look at the property yourself, you’re maybe able to see if there are any structural defects that aren’t safe or appealing.

If you do not take these steps prior to buying at auction, our solicitors can still assist you in the conveyancing process. We will quickly review all documents along with the legal pack to ensure that any problems are ironed out, long before you are required to complete. Our Auction property solicitors have plenty of experience when it comes to buying property at auction, so you are in the best hands with our legal team.
