HERE TO PROTECT YOU

A property auction is a brilliant way to get your hands on a bargain, but there are additional risks involved. Because sales at property auctions are binding, it’s essential to have expert legal advice so you know exactly what you are committing to. Gowlings conveyancing solicitors can help guide you through the legal practicalities if you are looking to buy or sell a property at auction.

CONVEYANCING SINCE 1921

Since 1921 we've worked with thousands of families and individuals across Preston and surrounding areas. We have a proven track record in providing excellent residential conveyancing services including years of experience handling auction conveyancing and providing assistance when it matters most.

PRE-AUCTION REPORTS

Legal packs for each property will be made available shortly before the auction for interested buyers to review. These legal packs should include all the relevant details about the property, including any covenants and restrictions. We strongly recommend having the professional advice of a conveyancing solicitor when reviewing these documents – it will ensure you know exactly what you’re buying before making an offer.

Our specialist auction solicitors will inspect the legal pack on your behalf and ensure you’re aware of any flags or issues before entering the auction house so you can make your winning bid with confidence.

It’s important that we have a minimum of 5 days to review the legal pack and related information, though if you require assistance sooner contact us for a quote.

Do I need a solicitor's assistance before bidding or can I review it myself?

Whilst you can review the legal pack yourself, we would strongly advise you to instruct a solicitor to review the legal pack before the auction. Legal packs often are lengthy, confusing and complicated - sometimes hundreds of pages. We can ensure that nothing is missed and you can bid with confidence.

What does a property auction legal pack contain?

Every property which is offered for sale at auction will involve a legal pack. You can usually download these from the auction house website. The legal pack contains documents relating to the property that will have been prepared by the vendor's solicitor. The legal pack often includes

office copy entries from the Land Registry – or if not registered, the title deeds
results of any conveyancing searches
special conditions of sale
property information form
the fixtures and fittings form
a management information pack and the lease itself [if the property is leasehold]
any existing tenancy agreements
any existing or lapsed planning permission
an EPC
