Question 7

What should I know before buying at auction?

Accepted Answer

We recommend going to a few auctions to get a feel for them before you bid for a home you want to buy. At auction there is no-cooling off period, so if you have been the successful bidder, the house is yours even if you can't afford it, change your mind or the house fails the builder's inspection.

Question 8

What should I do to prepare for buying at auction?

Accepted Answer

Carry out a thorough inspection of the property, you may even want to organise a builder's report if you've got your heart set on buying it. Ensure you have pre-approved finance and look over the contract. You may want to get your solicitor to go through the terms and conditions of sale.
