Auctions
Are you looking for an auction conveyancing solicitor who can help you complete in a tight turnaround? Choose Howells for your specialist property needs.
When you buy or sell a property at auction, the conveyancing process is different from a typical property sale or purchase. This is much faster, and more importantly, contracts are binding as soon as the bidding process ends. In the case of a purchase, it is recommended that you obtain legal advice on the legal pack prior to making a bid to ensure that you know what you are bidding for and are confident it is the right property for you.
We have a dedicated team of auction property solicitors who deal with all major auctions houses throughout England and Wales.
How we can help
We can help you buy or sell residential, commercial, or mixed-use properties at auction anywhere in England and Wales.
Our expert auction conveyancing solicitors can guide you through the whole process, from compiling or reviewing the legal pack to completion of the sale or purchase and the fees you will have to pay.
In the case of a sale, our auction conveyancing solicitors will obtain the necessary title documentation from the Land Registry, the searches, prepare the pack, and submit this to the auctioneer.
In the case of a purchase, we will check the title and advise you if there are any issues which may affect its saleability. Then, if your bid is successful, we can help you complete the purchase.
We are on the panel for all major UK lenders and we have the expertise to deal with specialist lending and bridging finance. If you are buying with a mortgage or specialist bridging finance then we strongly recommend that you contact us well in advance before bidding on the property.
We work closely with the auctioneers to ensure your sale or purchase is completed in accordance with the contractual completion date.
