Auction Conveyancing, Done at Pace
Buying at auction offers real opportunity, but the legal obligations begin the moment the hammer falls. With completion required within 28 days and no room for second thoughts, preparation before the auction is everything.
The Hammer Falls and the Clock Starts
The moment you win a lot at a Scottish property auction, you are legally committed with completion typically required within 28 days. Your solicitor must have reviewed the title pack and identified any issues before you bid, not after. Our Glasgow solicitors carry out thorough pre-auction legal checks on every lot, reviewing the seller’s legal documentation and flagging anything that could affect the purchase or the timeline.
From Winning Bid to Completed Title
Once you have bid successfully, your dedicated solicitor moves immediately, ordering searches, briefing your mortgage lender and driving the legal process forward within the required timescale. Based in Glasgow city centre, your solicitor is directly accessible throughout. Selling soon or planning to bid? Get the legal side ready early. Fees are fixed and agreed in advance with no surprises. Regulated by the Law Society of Scotland and see our pricing page for our auction fees.

All Questions Are Welcome
Unsure about something? We have answered the questions our Glasgow clients ask most often about conveyancing, legal fees and the property process in Scotland.
What happens legally when I buy a property at auction in Scotland?
When the hammer falls at a Scottish property auction, you are immediately legally committed to the purchase. The sale becomes binding on the fall of the hammer and you must typically complete within 28 days. This is why it is essential to have a solicitor instructed and pre-auction legal checks carried out before you bid.
What are pre-auction legal checks and why do I need them?
Pre-auction legal checks involve your solicitor reviewing the title pack and legal documentation provided by the seller’s solicitors before the auction takes place. This identifies any issues with the title, any outstanding charges, unusual conditions attached to the property or anything else that could affect your purchase or your ability to complete on time. Without these checks, you are bidding blind.
Can I get a mortgage on an auction property in Scotland?
Yes, but it requires careful preparation. Most mortgage lenders require a formal valuation and their own legal checks before releasing funds, which can be difficult to arrange within the 28-day completion window. It is essential to have your mortgage agreed in principle and your solicitor briefed before the auction so there are no delays after you bid. Your solicitor will liaise directly with your lender from the moment you win your lot.
What if I find a problem with the title after I have bid?
This is precisely why pre-auction legal checks are so important. If a title issue is identified before the auction, you can make an informed decision about whether to bid. If a problem emerges after the hammer falls, you are still legally committed to the purchase. Our solicitors carry out thorough checks in advance to minimise this risk as far as possible.
Do you handle auction conveyancing for sellers as well as buyers?
Yes. We act for both buyers and sellers at property auctions across Scotland. If you are selling a property at auction, we prepare the legal pack, deal with any title issues in advance and manage the conveyancing process through to completion once the property is sold.
What types of auction property do you handle conveyancing for?
We handle auction conveyancing for residential properties, commercial lots and land across Scotland. Whether you are purchasing a residential flat, a mixed-use building or a plot of land, our solicitors have the experience to manage the full legal process within the required timescale.
How long does auction conveyancing take?
Completion on an auction purchase must typically happen within 28 days of the hammer falling. Our solicitors are experienced in working within these compressed timescales and will progress your case immediately from the moment you successfully bid. Having your solicitor instructed and checks carried out before the auction is the most effective way to ensure completion happens on time.
How much does auction conveyancing cost with Kee Property?
We charge a fixed legal fee confirmed before you commit, so there are no surprises at completion. Visit our pricing page for a full breakdown of our auction conveyancing fees. Our fees are competitive and transparent, with no hourly rates and no hidden charges.
