WHAT WE OFFER
We undertake legal due diligence on your auction property. What does this mean?
​
It means our team of licensed, practicing, solicitors will interpret the auction pack of your intended property for you.
​
Why do you need this? Because when you buy at auction, if you make the winning bid, it’s legally binding, which means you need to check out the property thoroughly before you bid. This means looking through the auction pack, however, if you’re not trained, and don’t know what you’re looking for, you can easily miss important details.
​
What is the auction pack? An auction legal pack is a treasure trove of documents about the property at the auction. It includes:
-
Title Deeds: Like the map to hidden treasure, these prove who legally owns the property.
-
Searches: These reveal everything from planning permissions to environmental quirks.
-
Special Conditions of Sale: Think of these as the fine print of your mobile phone contract — except much, much, more important. Most people don't normally read the T's and C's, but that is exactly what we are here to do for you.
-
Leasehold Info (if needed): For leasehold properties, it's the lowdown on lease terms, ground rent, and the occasional ghostly service charge.
-
Replies to Pre-Auction Enquiries: These are like a Q&A session, where the property spills the beans on any potential skeletons in its closet.

Giving you the confidence to buy a property at auction.
Buying a property at auction can be a great way to find a good deal, on average auction prices are 30%, or more, lower than on the open market.
Properties go to auction for a number of reasons, sometimes, admittedly, because of problems with the property that make it hard to sell conventionally, but other properties go to auction because of repossession, insurance, inheritors out of the country, or simply needing a quick sale, so for the savvy house hunter there are bargains to be found.
However, unlike with a conventional property sale, once you've made your winning bid, it's legally binding. There is no way to retract your offer if you later discover something about the property you hadn't expected, so you need to do your due diligence BEFORE you buy.
Our team of legal specialists will do this due diligence for you. We will look through the auction pack of your intended property, decipher the deeds, search the searches, and send you, in plain English, everything you need to know about it.
We will tell you if there are any hidden nasties, any pending legal actions, anything from mysterious restrictive covenants to unresolved feuds that could turn your investment into an affliction. We will also tell you if something is missing that should be there. It's highly recommended that you consult with a solicitor before you bid on an auction property and if you're going to use a solicitor, we are an excellent choice.
