Service the way you would like it to be.
Auction legal pack checks
We totally understand that you want to minimise your upfront costs when going to auction, but at the same time, it’s important to know everything about that very large purchase you are considering making.
The cost of checking legal packs can be quite prohibitive with many firms, hence we have come up with a very reasonable fee for providing this service. It’s a small price to pay for peace of mind.
Our conveyancing costs are very reasonable too, should you go on to buy the property. Just tell the conveyancer dealing with your pack that you have secured the property and wish to proceed.
What is a legal pack?
When a property is sold at auction, it is usual for a legal pack to be prepared by the seller’s solicitors. There is no legal requirement for the vendor to produce a pack, but it is highly recommended that you focus your attention on properties where such a pack is available, and that you have the documentation inspected thoroughly by a solicitor/conveyancer prior to auction day.
You will normally find the packs on the auction website via the property details page, or a hard copy will usually be available in the auction room.
A pack will typically consist of the following:
- Official Copy of Register of Title (Office Copy Entry)
- Land Registry and Local Searches
- Leases
- Special Conditions of Sale
- Property Information Form
- Tenancy Agreements
- Fixtures and Fittings Form
- Management Information
- Planning Permission Documentation
