Our conveyancing specialists understand that buying a property at an auction involves making a purchase at speed and that the same fast pace is required to continue throughout the remainder of the process.
Prior to attending the auction, our solicitors will review the auction packs for each of the properties that you are interested in, ensuring that there are no existing problems associated with the properties, for example with the legal titles or any environmental issues.
This enables you to be sure that the property you are purchasing is as it says it is in the catalogue and prevents you from being faced with costly issues after you have purchased it.
Once the property has been purchased and the initial 10% deposit has been paid at the auction, our team works quickly to fully digest the auction pack from the vendor’s solicitor.
They compile all the necessary documentation required to complete the transaction, for example, any specific conditions of the sale, title deeds and property search results, before transferring the outstanding balance of the property and completing the transaction within, what is usually a 28-day timeframe.
