Auction Legal Pack Manchester

Why are Auction Legal Packs Important? 

Auction legal packs are essential documents in an auction pack. They provide prospective purchasers in Manchester with the information they need to understand the property before entering into a legally binding agreement with the seller. Failure to provide a comprehensive auction legal pack may deter buyers in Manchester from making a bid due to consternation and concern surrounding the uncertain nature of what may affect the property. 

In our extensive experience as specialist auction solicitors preparing auction legal packs in Manchester frequently, we know that prompt preparation of a comprehensive legal pack will help maximize selling exposure. It equips buyers in  Manchester  with all the information they need to make an informed purchase decision. 

Who prepares the auction legal pack?

How long does it take to prepare an auction legal pack in Manchester? 

It depends. Quite a few factors will need to be taken into account to include the tenure of the property and the locality of the property. For example, if the property is freehold, we can complete an auction pack within one week. This could take longer depending on how quickly we receive the search results. The excellent relationship with our search providers puts us in a better position to get expedited service. 

Auction legal pack timescales in  Manchester for leasehold properties are likely to take slightly longer depending on how quickly we receive the leasehold management pack. Some management companies are brilliant and can provide the required information expeditiously. The absence of expediency can inadvertently delay the auction legal pack process. 

Do I need to get the auction legal pack reviewed by solicitors if I buy a property at auction in Manchester? 

It is not obligatory, but it is imperative to get a specialist auction solicitor to help you review the auction pack before bidding in Manchester. An experienced auction solicitor who deals with auctions frequently should be able to case an eagle eye over the legal pack and help you avoid the common auction pitfalls and hidden charges.
