  • Auction paperwork

    Hi there ,
    wondered if anyone had any advice - I am looking to buy a property at auction but concerned as there are no local searches / protocols or property information forms
    in the legal pack there is the title deed and register plus a special conditions of sale and then an environmental search and an indemnity for churches .
    i am just concerned that there could be more charges to the property / land etc that then no comeback after auction -
    could anyone please check wording and advise as so far the solicitor I have used has been next to useless and tried to do a lot myself :

    I have deleted the fees and the timescales that I understand - I just need to know what else I can ask so they legally should divulge information or do I just walk away ? Many thanks

    You say

    You are right to have that concern - just look at the exclusions in clauses 1.1 to 1.4, indeed all the clauses you have quoted. If you don't carry out further searches, enquiries and inspections yourself there will be an increased element of risk. In part this may be reflected in the price.

    I doubt that the seller will provide any further information in reply to any questions that you may ask.

    My advice is to find a solicitor who is not useless and who has experience of advising in relation to auction sales.
    Lawyer (solicitor) - retired from practice, now supervising solicitor in a university law clinic. I do not advise by private message.
