Property Auctions Wirral

Q: Do I need a solicitor to buy a property at auction?

Yes, we recommend having a solicitor on hand when auctioning a property. As a buyer, this ensures you fully understand the property’s title, conditions, and any legal obligations before you commit.

Q: Can I get a mortgage on an auction property in Wirral?

Yes, but you’ll need to act quickly. Most auction purchases require completion within 28 days, so it’s best to arrange your mortgage agreement in principle in advance. Some buyers also use bridging loans to secure the property and refinance later.

Q: What happens if my property doesn’t sell at auction?

If your property doesn’t meet the reserve price, it won’t sell on the day. However, interested buyers may make post-auction offers, and our team will continue marketing your property to secure a sale.

Q: Where are property auctions held on the Wirral Peninsula?

Many Wirral property auctions are now held online for convenience, but physical auction venues are also used across Merseyside. At Liam Gretton, we make it simple to bid online or sell your home online.

Q: Are auction properties always cheaper?

Not always. Some properties may sell below market value, but competitive bidding can drive prices up. Auctions are best seen as a fair market reflection, where the property achieves the price buyers are willing to pay.

Q: How quickly do I get paid after selling at auction?

You can expect the funds to hit your account within 28 days of the auction, as contracts are exchanged immediately.
