I've found a potential auction property with a really short completion period (14-20 days). What are the critical solicitor and survey checks I absolutely MUST complete before bidding to avoid major issues, and how can I expedite them?
Quick Answer
Before bidding on an auction property, critical checks include a solicitor's review of the legal pack for title issues and a surveyor's report for structural defects. Expedite these by engaging professionals immediately upon identifying a property of interest.
