Auction Property Solicitors in Ipswich
Buying or selling an auction property can be very beneficial for several reasons. However, it is important that you have expert advice and guidance. At Attwells, our dedicated auction property conveyancers in Ipswich will guide you through the advantages and potential disadvantages and help you complete your auction property purchase or sale efficiently.
Buying property at an auction can be more affordable than buying on the open market, as auction properties often aren’t ready to move into or rent out. Similarly, if you’re looking to sell your property at an auction, it may sell faster as it’ll typically sell for less, and buyers will likely already have a mortgage or funds ready.
Our team of expert auction property solicitors based in Ipswich is ready to guide you through the process from start to finish. For a free quote, please call 01473 229200.


Buying and selling at a Modern Auction
A modern auction is an auction that is conditional up until the exchange of contracts and is different from the traditional method of auction where once the hammer falls, contracts are in effect exchanged and you are legally bound to complete.
Under the modern auction method at the end of the auction, the successful bidder must place a non-refundable reservation fee with the auction agents to reserve the property.

Selling an auction property in Ipswich
Selling a property through the open market can be a time-consuming process. It could take months to sell your property and receive your funds, as sales are contingent on several different factors, including negotiations, buyers selling their current property, and securing a mortgage.
In contrast, listing your property at an auction can lead to a faster sale, as buyers are likely to already have funds available and are ready to buy a property in less-than-perfect condition, although this can impact the sale price.
At Attwells, our auction property solicitors in Ipswich will support you throughout every stage of selling your property in an auction.
