Update 1 May 2012
We have received several instructions recently in connection with properties being sold at auction. When you buy land or buildings at auction you will have to give your solicitor’s name and pay a deposit on the spot. The balance is usually due 28 days later. This is simply to allow the conveyancing to take place. Your solicitor will not be able to get you out of the deal even if the title is troublesome. If you are considering buying at auction you should obtain the catalogue well in advance and consult your solicitor immediately if you are intending to bid on a property. This gives your solicitor the chance to get the title pack from the auctioneers and advise you of any pitfalls. This may cost you a fee but you might avoid a pig in a poke. |
