Buying a Property at Auction in Cornwall

If you are in the market for a new property, or if you are looking for an investment property in Cornwall, buying at auction could be the ideal choice. 

There are many benefits to buying a property at auction rather than buying in the traditional way including:

Quicker Process - Buying a property in the traditional sense, with an estate agent, can end up being a lengthy process, especially when you’re buying a property that is in a chain. However, buying a property at auction in Cornwall can be much faster; usually taking just a few weeks from the auction day to completion. 

Less risk of fall-through - When buying a property there is always the risk of this falling through, if someone in the chain falls-through and this creates a domino effect, or the seller decides to take their property off the market. When buying a property at auction provides less of a risk of this happening, as you are required to pay 10% of the overall amount the property is won for, on the day of auction.

Easy Process - Buying at auction can be a very easy process. As long as you have all of your finances arranged beforehand, and a solicitor, you are usually able to turn up on the day, register for the auction, and bid on the Cornwall property you are interested in. It is advised to speak with the auctioneers before the auction day though, as they will be able to provide you with the terms and conditions of the sale from the sellers, so that you are prepared prior to bidding on the property. 

If you are interested in buying a property at auction in Cornwall, don’t hesitate to contact our team of experienced auctioneers at Countrywide South West to discuss your requirements today.
