Buying a property an auction can be an exhilarating experience, although it is important that you do your research and appoint a solicitor before the event.
Buying property at auction
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.

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.”
