Auction Advice & Attendance

Specialist Legal Support Before, During & After Property Auctions

Buying or selling a property at auction can be a fast and exciting process — but it’s legally binding when the hammer falls. That’s why it’s crucial to have a solicitor who understands auction contracts, can act quickly, and protects your interests before committing.

At Convey Us Legal, we provide clear, prompt and reliable legal support for auction buyers, sellers and investors across Birmingham and the West Midlands. We can also attend auctions in person or virtually for you.

Why Legal Advice Is Essential Before an Auction

Property auctions move quickly — and once your bid wins, you’re legally committed to buy. Failing to complete it can result in losing your deposit and potentially result in legal claims.

Before bidding, we can:

  • Review the auction legal pack (title, contract, searches)
  • Flag risks (restrictive covenants, missing consents, lease issues)
  • Explain special conditions in the contract
  • Advise on financing deadlines and mortgage suitability
  • Recommend title indemnity insurance (if needed)

Having a solicitor review the legal pack in advance gives you complete confidence to bid — or walk away.
