Auction conveyancing is the legal process involved in buying or selling a property at auction. Unlike traditional property transactions, exchange of contracts happens immediately when the gavel falls, making the transaction legally binding on the day of the auction. Auction conveyancing therefore requires careful preparation before bidding and fast, efficient legal work to meet strict completion deadlines.
You should instruct a solicitor before the auction takes place. Auction conveyancing begins prior to bidding, with your solicitor reviewing the legal pack, identifying risks, and advising you on any legal issues.

If you fail to complete within the agreed timeframe, you may:
