FAQ's
Do I need a solicitor before auction?
It's essential that you have read and understood the legal pack for a property you want to bid on before you do so, as winning at auction means you are committed to buy. For this reason, it's recommended to get a solicitor before the auction to check the legal pack and ensure that you understand the contents of this document.
What are the fees for buying a house at auction?
There are different types of fees to consider when buying a house at auction. These include an administration fee to the auction house, your conveyancing solicitor fees, any stamp duty due and any other fees specified in the legal pack for your specific property.
The auction house fees vary, depending on the auction house involved, but are usually between £200-£500. Conveyancing fees can also vary, but your conveyancing solicitor should ensure you are provided with a quote beforehand. Stamp duty may be due, depending on the value of the property.
How much deposit do you need for buying a house at auction?
It's standard for most auction property purchases to require a 10% deposit on the day of the auction, with the remainder of the purchase price due upon completion within a short period of time after that, usually within 28 days of the auction.
If the buyer fails to complete the transaction within the deadline, they may forfeit their deposit. This is one reason why it's essential to have conveyancing solicitors that are experienced with the auction process assisting you with your purchase.
What are the risks of buying a property at auction?
While there are many benefits to buying an auction property, there can also be some risks. These include there being issues with the property that you're not aware of before bidding or some legal problems. You can mitigate most of these risks by getting a conveyancing solicitor to check the legal pack before you bid and getting a survey done on the property.
The risk associated with paying for a survey on the auction property before you bid is that you may not be successful, and you will get no return on the money you spent on the survey. However, the survey should flag up any structural issues that could have a bearing on how much you choose to bid vs the cost of any work needed, so can be a worthwhile investment that can save you money in the longer term.
