Buying at auction

Buy with your eyes open.

From viewing a property to checking the documents: give yourself time to prepare.

Your buying journey.

Read the particulars and arrange a viewing where available. Ask about access, occupancy and anything that matters to your plans.

Ask your solicitor to review the legal pack, special conditions and any addendum before you bid.

Allow for the purchase price, applicable tax, legal costs, auction charges and any works or funding costs. Confirm every lot-specific charge.

Prepare your identity and buyer information. Registration is separate from approval to bid.

Recheck availability, the guide price and document changes. Be clear about when a binding contract is formed.

After a successful bid, meet the deposit and completion requirements set out in the applicable contract.

Tell us about the property and what you want to achieve.
