About Property Auctions

Whilst auctions were traditionally associated with properties requiring significant renovations and/or repossessed properties, both buyers and sellers alike are now recognising the benefits, such as certainty, speed and focus, which the auction process may offer for all types of properties. Sellers have the potential to reach a broader market and once the hammer falls, have a legally binding exchange of contracts (with deposit) and typically, a completion within 28 days. Buyers can pick up a “bargain”.

However, purchasing a property at auction can involve significant risks for a buyer and it is important that the buyer undertakes full due diligence prior to the auction. Buyers need to carry out proper and detailed research about their prospective purchase. Given that the seller has the advantage of being able to continue negotiations with more than one interested party, and time is of the essence, buyers will often be expected to take a view on (what may be complex) commercial or legal matters.

It is also essential for prospective sellers to seek specialist legal advice as earlier as possible prior to entering in to an auction to ensure that the property has the best chance of selling for the best price and that any legal requirements required to be satisfied are dealt with in good time.

Whether you are looking to buy or sell a property at auction, you can count on our vast experience to ensure that the inevitable challenges presented by transactions of this nature are overcome as effectively and efficiently as possible.
