Fast, Expert Legal Support for Property Auctions

Property auction transactions move quickly and carry strict legal deadlines. At LexHavenLaw, our experienced conveyancing solicitors provide focused and time-critical legal support to ensure you can bid with confidence and complete your purchase or sale without unnecessary risk.

Whether you are buying or selling property at auction, early legal advice is essential. We help you understand the risks, obligations, and deadlines before you commit.

What Is Auction Conveyancing?

Auction conveyancing is the legal process involved when a property is bought or sold at auction. When the hammer falls, contracts are legally binding, and completion usually must take place within 28 days.

Unlike standard conveyancing, there is little room for delay or renegotiation. Proper legal preparation before the auction is crucial to avoid costly mistakes.

Buying Property at Auction

If you are purchasing property at auction, we strongly recommend legal review before you bid. Our solicitors will examine the auction legal pack and identify any risks.

We advise buyers on:

• Reviewing the auction legal pack

• Title defects or restrictive covenants

• Lease terms and tenancy issues

• Special conditions of sale

• Planning and usage restrictions

• Completion deadlines and penalties

This allows you to bid with full knowledge of the legal position.

Selling Property at Auction

If you are selling property at auction, we ensure your legal documentation is accurate and complete to avoid post-auction delays.

We assist sellers with:

• Preparing the auction legal pack

• Drafting sale contracts and special conditions

• Liaising with auctioneers

• Managing exchange and completion

Post-Auction Conveyancing

Once the auction is complete, strict deadlines apply. We act quickly to ensure completion takes place on time.

We handle:

• Completing legal formalities

• Liaising with lenders and buyers/sellers

• Managing funds and deposit transfers

• Registering ownership with HM Land Registry

Failure to complete on time can result in loss of deposit or legal penalties—our role is to ensure this does not happen.
