It’s essential to do your research on the property and comparable sales in the area. Consider your budget and any additional fees, such as the Reservation Fee. We also provide insights and guidance to help you determine a competitive bid.
If you win, you’ll need to pay a Reservation Fee within a specified time frame, typically 2 hours after the auction closes. You’ll also have a set period (28 or 56 days) to complete the purchase, so ensure your financing is ready and your solicitor is instructed.
