SELLING AT AUCTION
Selling at auction: conveyancing from auction day to completion
Once the hammer falls, completion steps come fast. We act for auction sellers across the UK and progress the legal work to completion for residential and commercial lots.
Two ways we can help
We draft your legal pack (recommended)
If you’re preparing to list, we can compile the legal pack so the lot is auction-ready and buyers can complete smoothly.
You already have a pack
If the pack is already prepared and the property sells, we can deal with the post-auction conveyancing through to completion.
Selling at Auction Services
Residential selling at auction
We act for sellers of houses and flats from auction day through to completion. We handle the buyer’s solicitor, completion statements and funds, keeping the sale moving without delay.
Commercial selling at auction
We act for sellers of commercial properties, managing leases, occupiers and completion requirements after the hammer falls. Our focus is on progressing the matter efficiently to completion.
What happens after auction day
The buyer is committed, and the completion timetable is usually tight. We focus on quick, practical actions: responding to buyer’s solicitors, satisfying any contract requirements, and ensuring completion is achieved without avoidable delay.
Common issues that slow auction sales (and how we reduce them)
Missing documents that buyers request urgently
Leasehold management information delays
Tenancies and occupation queries
Special conditions disputes and completion requirements
Completion logistics and funds
Frequently Asked Questions
1. When should I instruct a solicitor if I’m selling at auction?
Ideally before the property is listed for auction, so the legal pack can be prepared properly. If the property has already been sold at auction, we can still act and handle the post-auction conveyancing through to completion.
2. Can you liaise with my auctioneer?
Yes. We regularly liaise with auctioneers to coordinate the legal pack, buyer details, and post-auction steps to keep the sale moving.
3. Do you handle commercial auction sales?
Yes. We act on both residential and commercial auction sales and deal with issues such as leases, tenancies, VAT clauses, and commercial title matters where relevant.
4. What if the buyer delays?
Auction contracts usually have fixed completion deadlines. If issues arise, we’ll manage communication with the buyer’s solicitor, explain the options available, and help keep the matter progressing towards completion.
5. What fees apply and what’s included?
We offer clear fixed-fee options for selling at auction. The scope of work is confirmed at the outset, and any additional work is explained before it’s carried out, so there are no surprises.
