How to buy at auction

Seven steps, from finding a property to getting the keys.

  1. 1

    Pick your lot

    Read the lot page, look at the photos and check the guide price.

  2. 2

    View the property

    Go to a viewing. You buy the property as it is.

  3. 3

    Check the legal pack

    Download it from the lot page and ask your solicitor to read it.

  4. 4

    Arrange your money

    Have your deposit of 10% of the purchase price (minimum £5,000) and the buyer's fee of £1,500 plus VAT ready, and your mortgage or funds lined up for completion in 28 days.

  5. 5

    Register and get approved

    Create an account and upload your ID. We approve you before bidding opens.

  6. 6

    Bid

    Bid online on the lot page, or arrange a telephone bid with us.

  7. 7

    Win and complete

    If you win, pay the deposit and the buyer's fee within 24 hours. Your solicitor then completes the purchase.
