Auction Properties

If you are the successful bidder at an auction you are now committed to complete the purchase, whether or not you have made any detailed enquiries about the property. We ensure that any title checks, searches, or inspections are completed before the sale.


At KLR we have a lot of experience in handling this type of purchase, feel free to contact our conveyancing team for a quote.


It is always worthwhile to have a pre-auction conveyancing report, auction sales are subject to numerous conditions. 


The conditions imposed not only regulate the way in which the sale is to be conducted but will also form part of the sale contract. A buyer is stuck with them whether or not he or she has read them.

"The main difference between property auction conveyancing and an ordinary purchase or sale is that a binding contract is concluded when the hammer falls."
