Auction Property Conveyancing

Expert Auction Property Conveyancing Solicitors With A Wealth Of Experience In Manchester And London, UK.

Buying properties at auctions differ from the usual conveyance process, one of the main differences being you are contractually obliged to buy the property when you win an auction. Our specialist auction solicitors can help guide you through the process and help make buying an auction property as smooth as possible.

As we mentioned, buying property at auction can differ from the usual buying of a property, one of the first differences is a legal pack.  The legal pack contains information about the property including title plan, register of title, conveyance searches and contract of sale. Legal packs can lack certain information due to a number of reasons and this is why it is important that a specialist auction solicitor reviews the legal pack and reports any issue they find.

How do I buy a property at auction?

To start off with you need to find what property you want to buy, once you have found the property you need to figure out the maximum price you want to pay for it. Turning up to an auction with no financial idea of what you want to pay could be detrimental to your finances as you could make impulse decisions that you can’t afford, this is because once you make the offer and win you must pay all the remaining costs.

Upon deciding what property you want to buy you should arrange a viewing to go see the state of the premises, this is so you can make a final decision on how much you want to pay for the property. Once you have gone through the legal pack and set a max price for your auction you are ready to go to bid for your property. Upon arrival you should already have 10% of the deposit ready to be passed over to the seller, the other 90% must be paid within 28 days from when the property was sold, in some circumstances it can be lowered to 14 days depending on the auction site.

How do I sell a property at auction?

Generally, when trying to sell a property at an auction you need four weeks or more to prepare. Firstly you need to call a range of different auction sites and request an appraisal, this is because each auctioneer will give you a range of prices and fees. Once you have chosen a specific auction house you want to work with they will help set up your catalogue listing. During this process, you will have to arrange a legal pack with your auction property conveyancing solicitor so buyers have all the information they need about your property. Once you have completed all of your set-up processes the actual auction day is very straightforward, meaning that you sell your property to the highest bidder and sign any contracts once the 10% has been handed over, after this the process of conveyancing will be carried on by your solicitor.
