From legal pack
to completion.
An auction purchase can become legally binding as soon as the hammer falls or an online auction concludes. The legal pack, special conditions and completion date therefore need careful attention.
Express Conveyancing manages a panel of solicitors and licensed conveyancers. We first discuss the headline details, deadline and funding with you. If the matter can be accepted, we will allocate a suitable available legal provider from our panel.
Discuss your auction matter ↗A panel legal provider can review the title, searches, special conditions and legal risks revealed by the available pack.
Contact us first to discuss the completion arrangements, funding and circumstances so we can establish whether the matter can be accepted.
The appointed legal provider’s advice will be shaped around the auction method, reservation terms and contractual timetable.
If appointed, the panel legal provider deals with the accepted transaction through completion and post-completion formalities.
Auction work is not simply ordinary conveyancing done faster.
It calls for early identification of contractual deadlines, unusual conditions, title issues, missing searches and funding requirements. If a legal provider is appointed, it will focus on the points that can affect whether and how the transaction proceeds.
