Property Auctions
Are you looking to buy a cheap property at auction?
The property market is slowing down - it appears that the
boom in house price growth is over, at least for now. Homes are taking longer
to sell, and availability of mortgages has lessened considerably. Sellers are
increasingly turning to property auctions to secure a quick sale. For buyers,
that means the chance to bag a great property at bargain price!
With repossessions also on the increase, it looks as though
2012 will continue to be busy for the auction rooms. And that means plenty of
property bargains for you.
Going through the initial process
A key advantage of buying at auction is the no nonsense
approach. Once the hammer falls, you effectively exchange contracts and
neither party can back out. This gets rid of a lot of the anxiety many buyers
face during a property purchase - such as the fear of being 'gazumped' by
another buyer with a higher offer, or the possibility of being left without a
home to move in to if the seller decides they no longer want to go through
with the transaction.
If you want to buy a property at auction, the first thing you
should do is request a catalogue from the auction company. This will include
a list of the properties up for sale, along with detailed information and
guide prices. If you find a property that interests you, go and see it! Most
catalogues will publish a viewing list - this tells you when you can view the
property.
Before you decide whether you want to bid on a property, you
would likely have a solicitor go through the finer details. Your solicitor
should request a legal pack from the auctioneer which should contain all the
legal documents for the property.
The auction
Once you've done all the initial work, you should attend the
auction. If you can't attend in person, you can often bid over the
telephone. Remember, once bidding starts, its easy to get carried away -
don't be tempted to bid more than you can afford.
If all goes well, buying at auction should be a very quick and
exciting way to bag your new property - and hopefully at a bargain price!
