Auctions

To all but the experienced property trader, the prospect of committing to buy your next home at auction can be daunting so if you do find your ideal house or flat is up for sale in this way, it is vital to have experienced legal professionals on your side.

We can offer sensible, practical advice to help you decide how to proceed and, when the time comes, our conveyancing specialists will handle the legalities of your purchase swiftly and efficiently.

Homes come under the hammer for a variety of reasons, often because they are dilapidated or difficult to value, so it is important that you inspect the property carefully and make the most of any opportunities to view before you bid.

If you are pleased with what you see, it is a good idea to consult your conveyancer as soon as possible so we can check in detail the auctioneer’s transaction conditions and undertake all the necessary pre-sale searches, liaising with your bank or mortgage lender as appropriate.

Accuracy and speed are of the essence

If your bid is successful and at the auction you secure your chosen property, you can rely on us to act quickly and thoroughly; in most cases, the winning bidder will have a legal obligation to complete their purchase promptly and pay all monies due to the seller within 28 days.

With local knowledge at our fingertips and a wealth of valuable auction conveyancing under our belts, we are excellently-placed to advise and support you through your property auction experience. Whether you are a frequent or first-time visitor to the sales room, a buyer or a seller, from start to finish we will ensure your best interests drive your transaction.

Client Testimonials

I would like to take the opportunity to thank you and your team for your friendly and efficient manner when carrying out the conveyancing of my late Grandmothers property. Other than the delays caused by our buyers it went very smoothly and I am grateful to you for pushing it through so quickly once their issues had been resolved and have pleasure to attach our client satisfaction questionnaire. Kind regards

Jon Sargent

Many thanks again for your work and support on the sale of my flat in Putney – as per my previous experiences on sale/purchasing properties with your help, you give conveyancing lawyers a good name! Very efficient, prompt and pragmatic plus you know what to advise/caution me on without overdoing it. After the dust has settled I will be looking for an investment property to buy so no doubt will be back in touch in due course. Enjoy the rest of the summer and thanks again.

Nicholas Smith was highly professional, focused and responsive. He worked to a very tight timetable to
complete the purchase of our house and I would strongly recommend him to prospective clients

Robert & Nathalie Forman

We want to say a very big thank you to both of you for all your help in our house moves. We have been very impressed with your highly efficient, no fuss approach to the conveyancing. It has made the whole process so much easier for us and we would have no hesitation recommending your services to others.
Best wishes and thank you once again.

You have been a pleasure to deal with and have been so competent, patient, organised and professional. I still cannot believe how stress-free the whole procedure was with you. In stark contrast, I completed today on my house in N Ireland after five (!) months of legal wrangling. I am delighted with the house and, although still surrounded by packing boxes, am making progress. Once again. Thank you for all you did. Kind regards,

Elaine Young

Nicholas Smith

Just a note to thank you both very much for your help during the sale of Betty’s apartment. I was pretty stressed about it all, especially after the first sale fell through. But your kindness and efficient follow-up on everything really helped me. I have total confidence in your services and would not hesitate to work with you again. Very best wishes.

Nicholas Smith

The speed from offer to completion surprised everyone we spoke to and more than met our deadline to beat the June Stamp Duty deadline. Well done, absolutely delighted.

John Middleditch

Nicholas Smith

Nick, Sally and Maddie were excellent throughout the whole process. We are very happy with the service they provided.

Nichola Swan and Graham Cropley

Nicholas Smith

Thank you very much for facilitating the sale of my house in Solva despite all the difficulties of me being in Portugal at the start, and the tardiness of the other solicitors.

It is great that all is completed and I am grateful for your cheerful help.

Nicholas Smith

Nick was always very quick to respond to any queries and made the whole process a lot less stressful, especially as it was my first property purchase. Guidance documentation was very helpful too. I can’t fault the service.
