Proof & Source of funds
In order to satisfy our Anti-Money Laundering obligations, winning bidders are required to complete their source of funds questionnaire within 24 hours of the close of the auction. This will detail how they will finance the purchase and provide supporting evidence as to the source of the funds (such as bank statements). It is advised that anybody bidding on a property prepares this information prior to taking part in an auction so that it is readily available. See our buyers FAQ’s for further information.
Current proof of funds may also be requested from registered buyers, prior to enabling their account for bidding, as part of our affordability checks.

How to place a bid
Offers can only be made via the online auction in the form of a bid once the bidding window has opened. No offers will be accepted outside of the auction process.
Once a sale has been agreed (STC) and a price agreed then no further price negotiation will take place. This sale price is fixed at the winning auction price and the buyer honoured to pay it. Any subsequent attempt by the buyer to contact the vendor direct to renegotiate on price would hold the buyer in breach of our terms. Should the buyer withdraw then they may have to forfeit the reservation fee. Please read the buyer terms and FAQ’s on the site for more details.
