PROPERTY AUCTIONS IN BIRMINGHAM
With property prices continuing to rise, properties for sale by auction can be an excellent way of getting onto the Birmingham property ladder.
Property auctions are growing in popularity. There is a good chance that you will be able to purchase a property for a sum below the market average and, as an auction sale is legally binding, there is a diminished possibility of being gazumped.
However, the competitive atmosphere in an auction room can result in a property reaching higher than its valuation price. Therefore it is important to work out your maximum budget before the auction and then stick to it.
TAlso, as the sale becomes legally binding on the fall of the gavel, it is crucial that you carry out all necessary checks before placing a bid. Instruct a surveyor to inspect the property on your behalf and make the necessary arrangements with your mortgage provider. It is also important to have all legal documentation pertaining to the property checked by your solicitor prior to the day of sale, and to be sure that all relevant searches have been undertaken.
If you are successful at auction you will be required to pay a deposit on your new property. Make sure these funds are available and that you have a cheque book, bankers or building society cheque ready
