This property is being sold by Conditional Auction with Reservation Fee. The auction will be conducted online through our weekly bidding platform. The auction timeslot and end date are displayed on the property listing at tcpa.co.uk. When bidding, you are deemed to have agreed to Town & Country Property Auctions Buyers Terms (England & Wales) available on our website.
We advise all bidders who require a mortgage to confirm with their Financial Advisor as to whether or not the lot you are interested in would be suitable security to borrow finance against, prior to bidding. If you need to arrange a mortgage it is important that you obtain an offer from your lender before the day of the auction. Most building societies and banks will instruct a surveyor to prepare a valuation report before making a mortgage offer.
The Legal Pack can be updated at any time before the auction starts, so please ensure you have reviewed the most recent version before bidding. At the point of placing your bid, you are deemed to have read the Legal Pack in its entirety, including any updates. Failure to check for changes will not be a valid reason for withdrawing from the sale. It is strongly recommended that you instruct a qualified solicitor or conveyancer to review the Legal Pack and raise any necessary enquiries before bidding.
Non-refundable fees will apply and will be clearly listed on the property details. These fees are paid to reserve the property during the Reservation Period and may take the form of: Reservation Fee – paid by the buyer and in addition to the purchase price. This does not contribute toward the purchase price. Reservation Deposit – paid by the buyer when the seller agrees to cover the fees. This deposit forms part of the purchase price and may be used to cover the auctioneer's fees. Any applicable fee or deposit will be clearly displayed on the property listing at tcpa.co.uk.
We have not carried out a survey or assessment of the property and therefore cannot confirm whether it is suitable for mortgage lending. Mortgage ability is determined solely by the buyer’s chosen lender and their surveyor. It is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure the property is suitable for lending. All prospective bidders should obtain independent advice, arrange their own survey, and confirm mortgage suitability before bidding. No warranty, guarantee, or representation is given or implied regarding the condition of the property or its mortgage suitability. Bidders must rely on their own inspections, enquiries, and professional advice.
