Our Auction Property Solicitors help buyers understand the legal risks before bidding and complete the purchase quickly once a bid is successful.
Buying property at auction
Our auction property solicitors can review the legal pack for any properties you are seriously considering before auction day. This may include checking the title, searches, special conditions of sale and other documents provided by the seller’s solicitor, so you can bid with a clearer understanding of the risks involved.
Buying a property at auction can move fast, and the legal commitment is often made sooner than many buyers expect. Before you bid, you need to understand exactly what you are buying, what the auction pack contains, and whether there are any legal issues that could affect the value, use or future sale of the property.
Once your bid is successful, the pace does not slow down. Auction property solicitors can help you deal with the legal steps quickly, as auction purchases commonly require a 10% deposit on the day and completion within a short timeframe, often around 28 days depending on the auction terms. We will work quickly to review the paperwork, prepare the documents needed for completion and explain what is required from you at each stage.

Testimonial
“Having selected Flint Bishop to assist in the legal process of selling my house, I found that the concise and clear e-mails to keep me updated on each step of the process gave me confidence in their professional handling of the sale. Staff were very nice and courteous on the phone and replied quickly.”
David
“Robin was extremely efficient regarding the recent sale of my mother’s house. There were a lot of delays with the sale from the buyers and futher down the chain and Robin always kept me informed and up to date with the proceedings. He was very proactive about ensuring that the sale process was progressing as quickly as possible. When I spoke to him on the phone he was professional and personable. Overall I was very pleased with the service.”

Bozena
“We have worked with Flint Bishop several times now — this is already our third time working with them — and each experience has been excellent. Our solicitor, Sukhy Kandola, was extremely professional and efficient, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. We can truly praise the team for their reliability and great cooperation. We’ll definitely continue working with them in the future. Highly recommended!”
Mr Pawel Tomporowski
“Lauren and Sukhy were incredible, they advised me on certain aspects of issues with the house we were purchasing, they put us at ease when things started to get stressful. If we was to sell and purchase a house again we would certainly ask for them to be our conveyancers. They were always available at the end of the phone and email. Thank you.”
