The successful bidder at auction is legally bound to exchange contracts on the night. The buyer will have to pay a 10% deposit (minimum payment of £3000) on the night to secure the sale.

This payment can be taken by debit card not visa master cards. Some properties also require the buyer to pay an admin fee of £600 + VAT please check the property details, this payment is also payable on the auction night.

Buyers and sellers guide to auctions

People buy at auction for lots of reasons, they might want to move quickly, or could be looking for repossessed property, a plot of land to build on or quite simply a quick purchase that is straight forward, risk free  and secured the same day as making the successful bid.

Before you attend the auction we strongly advise you to view the property before auction. If you have any questions about the property you must ask these before the auction. You may also want to make arrangements for a survey to be carried out prior to auction.

All persons interested in bidding on a property must register their details at the foyer of the auction with a member of our team. Each auction property will be announced by the auctioneer and bidding will be open to the audience. You must have photo ID with you.

Finances:

Buyers need to know they have their finances and affordability arranged before making a bid. If a mortgage is required you must have your formal offer in place before the auction. You can speak to our mortgage advisors for more information please email Ann for more details Ann@cumbrian-properties.co.uk

Once the hammer falls contracts are then legally exchanged. The contact will need to be signed and the deposit by the buyer will need to be paid. Completion of sale is usually 28 days. The balance of the sale price will be payable upon completion, a solicitor will deal with this on your behalf.

Bidding:

All bids are to be made clearly and directed at the auctioneer. The auctioneer reserves the right to regulate bidding and to refuse undesirable bids. The vendor of the property reserves the right to bid up to the reserve price or to authorise the auctioneer to do so. Once the hammer falls contacts are legally exchanged. When a bid is successful the bidder will be escorted by a member of our team to the administration area in order to complete the paperwork and payment. Successful bidders will need to provide our team with photo ID normally in the way of a driving licence or passport, we will also need your National Insurance number.

In the event of any dispute in respect of the Auction, the Auctioneers decision is final. Each lot is offered subject to the reserve price unless otherwise stated.
