Auction Packs & Advice

​

What is an Auction Legal Pack?

We specialise in reviewing auction legal packs at Hopkins Solicitors. We do this to ensure our clients have all the information they need. It’s important when considering a property purchase at auction. An auction legal pack is a collection of documents. They give key details about the property being sold. These packs are vital to the auction process. They let buyers assess the property’s legal status, risks, and obligations.

Typical contents of an auction legal pack may include:

1. Title deeds: to confirm the legal ownership of the property. They also list any restrictions or easements on it.
2. Local searches: to reveal information about the property’s planning history. They cover environmental issues and proposed developments in the area.
3. Special conditions of sale: These conditions outline any specific terms or requirements set by the seller for the sale of the property. Including the deposit amount and completion date.

By thoroughly examining these documents, buyers can make informed decisions about whether to proceed with the purchase. They can understand any potential problems or risks with the property. At Hopkins Solicitors, we’re here to provide expert guidance and support throughout the auction legal pack review process. We ensure our clients have the knowledge and confidence they need. This helps them participate in property auctions well.

Why You Need a Thorough Review of the Auction Legal Pack 

At Hopkins Solicitors, we understand the risks involved in not reviewing the auction legal pack thoroughly. Failing to review the legal pack can have significant legal and financial implications for buyers. It’s important that buyers have reviewed the pack carefully .

Our solicitors’ review of the auction legal pack is crucial in uncovering these critical issues. We examine the documents to identify any red flags or discrepancies that could impact the sale. This includes checking for title defects. It also includes missing documents or undisclosed liabilities. These may not be immediately clear to buyers.

Potential Complications and How to Navigate Them 

During our legal pack reviews, we often find common issues. These include restrictive covenants and unclear property boundaries. Restrictive covenants are legal obligations. They limit how a property can be used. They include restrictions on alterations or developments. Unclear property boundaries can lead to disputes with neighbouring properties or uncertainty about land ownership.

Hopkins Solicitors can help. We will resolve these issues by doing thorough research and investigation into the legal implications. For example, we may work with relevant authorities. Or, we may do more searches to clarify property boundaries. For restrictive covenants, we can advise on ways to lessen their impact. For example, by seeking consent or applying to change the covenants.
