1. What is an auction legal pack, and why is it important to have it reviewed?
An auction legal pack is a collection of essential documents provided by the auction house for each property being sold. These documents typically include the contract of sale, title deeds, property information forms, conveyancing searches, and sometimes management information packs for leasehold properties.
It’s important to have the legal pack reviewed because these documents provide critical information about the property’s legal standing. Without a professional review, you risk missing key details, such as restrictions, hidden costs, or unresolved legal issues. A thorough review helps you understand the property’s condition and avoid unexpected complications once the auction hammer falls.
2. How quickly can I get my auction legal pack reviewed?
We offer a 24-hour auction legal pack review service, which means that once we receive your legal pack, we will review all documents and send you a detailed report within one business day.
Our fast turnaround ensures you can make informed decisions without missing any important details. We understand the urgency of auction transactions, and our quick service allows you to bid with confidence, knowing that your legal pack has been thoroughly checked.
3. What’s included in the auction legal pack review service?
Our review service includes a full analysis of all available documents in the auction legal pack. This covers key documents like the contract of sale, title plan, register of title, property information forms, and conveyancing searches.
We also assess any missing paperwork, highlight potential legal risks, and provide a comprehensive report outlining our findings. Our goal is to make sure you’re fully aware of any issues that could impact your bid or subsequent purchase.
4. What types of properties can you help with?
We assist with reviewing legal packs for a wide variety of properties sold at auction, including residential, commercial, and mixed-use properties.
Our team is also experienced in handling more complex property types, such as leasehold properties or those with unresolved legal issues. Regardless of the property type, we can provide a detailed review and ensure you’re aware of any potential risks involved.
5. What happens if the legal pack is missing documents?
If the auction legal pack is missing vital documents, we will promptly inform you of the missing items. We will advise you on whether these missing documents need to be requested from the auction house or if they are critical to the transaction.
In some cases, missing documents may indicate a potential issue with the property, which could affect your decision to proceed. We’ll guide you on how to handle these situations and ensure you’re not left in the dark.
6. Can you help if I’ve already won the auction and need a review?
Yes, we can help even if you’ve already won the auction. Many buyers realise after the auction that they need legal advice or that they didn’t fully understand the legal pack.
We can still review the legal pack and highlight any risks, obligations, or concerns that may affect the completion of the sale. Our review will give you the clarity you need to move forward confidently with the purchase.
7. How much does the 24-hour auction legal pack review service cost?
Our 24-hour auction legal pack review service starts at £350 + VAT. This price covers a complete review of the legal pack, a detailed written report, and expert advice on the findings.
We offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees, so you can be sure of the cost upfront. We believe in providing excellent value for money, ensuring you receive high-quality service without any surprises.
8. How do I send my legal pack to you for review?
You can send your auction legal pack to us electronically via email or a secure file-sharing service like Dropbox or Google Drive. Alternatively, if you have a physical copy, you can send it by post, although we recommend the electronic method for faster service.
Once we receive your legal pack, our team will begin the review process immediately to ensure you get the results within 24 hours.
9. Do you offer any guarantees with your legal pack review service?
While we can’t guarantee that we’ll identify every possible issue in the legal pack, we do guarantee a thorough and professional review of all the available documents. We are highly experienced in identifying risks, missing documents, and legal complications that could affect your auction purchase.
Our team will alert you to any potential concerns and provide clear, actionable advice on how to proceed. Our goal is to help you avoid any unpleasant surprises or costly mistakes in your auction transaction.
10. What should I do after receiving my legal pack review?
After receiving your legal pack review, it’s important to carefully read through the report and the recommendations we’ve provided. If we’ve identified any risks or concerns, you should consider contacting the auction house to request clarification or further documentation.
If needed, we can assist you with follow-up actions or offer additional advice to help you make a fully informed decision. We’re here to support you throughout the auction process and ensure that you’re ready to proceed with confidence.
11. What are the risks of not getting an auction legal pack reviewed?
Not getting the auction legal pack reviewed can lead to significant risks. Without a thorough review, you may miss key information about the property, such as outstanding legal disputes, zoning issues, or hidden costs. This can lead to financial losses, complications during the completion process, or unexpected liabilities.
In the worst-case scenario, you could be legally bound to purchase a property with severe issues, which can be costly or impossible to resolve. Getting the legal pack reviewed gives you the information you need to make an informed and confident decision.
12. How does the review process work once I send the legal pack?
Once we receive the legal pack, our team begins the review process immediately. We check all the essential documents, identify any missing paperwork, and flag any potential risks or concerns. Our team looks for issues like legal disputes, unpaid charges, or problematic clauses in the contract.
We then prepare a detailed written report outlining our findings and recommendations. This report is typically delivered within 24 hours, ensuring you have all the information you need before making any decisions about bidding.
13. Can I get a refund if I’m not happy with the review?
We strive to provide the best possible service, and we aim to deliver a comprehensive and thorough review of your auction legal pack. If for any reason you are not satisfied with the service, please reach out to us directly to discuss your concerns.
We will do our best to address any issues and ensure you are happy with the service. However, as we provide a detailed, expert review of the legal pack, refunds are generally not offered unless there is a clear issue with the service provided.
14. How do I know if an auction property has structural or planning issues?
While we don’t conduct physical inspections of the property, our legal pack review will help identify any documents related to structural or planning issues. These might include planning permissions, building regulations, or reports related to structural concerns.
If any issues related to planning or structure are mentioned in the legal pack, we will flag them in our report and explain the potential impact. It’s always wise to seek professional advice for a physical inspection if you have concerns about the property’s condition.
