This property is offered for sale via the Online Modern Method of Auction, a flexible and buyer-friendly way to purchase. Buyers have 56 working days to exchange and complete from receipt of the draft contract, or 10 working days after payment of the Buyer’s Premium, whichever is earlier. This timescale allows buyers to proceed with traditional residential finance.

If the auction is successful, or the vendor accepts an offer during the auction, the buyer will be required to pay a non-refundable Buyer’s Premium, securing the property and removing it from the market. Buyers must agree to the auction terms and conditions before solicitors are instructed. Full details are available on the goto Auctions website or via Purplebricks.

Please note the property is subject to an undisclosed Reserve Price, typically no more than 10% above the Starting Bid. Prices are subject to change.

General Information

Auctioneer's Comments

This property is for sale by Online Auction which is a flexible and buyer friendly method of purchase. The purchaser will not be exchanging contracts on the fall of the virtual hammer but will be given 56 working days in which to complete the transaction, from the date the Draft Contract is issued by the seller’s solicitor. By giving a buyer time to exchange contracts on the property, means normal residential finance can be arranged.

The Buyer’s Premium secures the transaction and takes the property off the market. Fees paid to the Auctioneer reserve the property to the buyer during the Reservation Period and are paid in addition to the purchase price and are considered within calculations for Stamp Duty Land Tax. Further clarification on this must be sought from your legal representative. The buyer will be required to sign a Reservation form to confirm acceptance of terms prior to solicitors being instructed. Copies of the Reservation form and all terms and conditions can be found in the Legal Pack which can be downloaded for free from our website or requested from our Auction Department.

Buyer Fees

Upon close of a successful auction or if the vendor accepts an offer during the auction, the buyer will be required to make payment of a non-refundable Buyer’s Premium of 3.6% of the purchase price plus VAT (this is subject to a minimum amount of £6,600 including VAT) and a Legal Pack fee of £396.00 including VAT. This secures the transaction and takes the property off the market.

Stamp Duty Land Tax (sdlt) is applicable if you buy a property or land over a certain price in England, Wales or Northern Ireland.
