Surely the bank that was selling the property knew there was an issue with the title deeds,

Oh no sorry to hear that, they could have checked if another solicitor was willing to take an undertaking

Once you register for the auction you are given access to the title documentation before the auction takes place, the reason for this is so that you can review title before making a bid. The issues with title would have been discoverable before the parties bid on the property and it was their own failure to undertake due diligence that resulted in the inability to draw down the mortgage. The BidX1 auctions are normally by banks or receivers and as a result are considered high risk.

I don't understand people buying properties unless your doing it to make money ,u will never own the property the chances are won't live long enough to enjoy fruits of your hard work,renting is way to go no property tax,no insurance to pay,no maintenance bills ect

Most properties at auction are stressed assets and have issues with title …they typically sell under market value to cash buyers willing to take the risk. People should be made aware of this.

losing 10% is the least of it. they can force you to go ahead with the sale (unlikely, as you have no funds). , or, they can sell the property for a lower amount - say 25% lower. then in addition to your 10% deposit they can pursue you for the 15%.

So basically yiu should only engage in these online auctions if you're in a position to pay cash, therefore your solicitor doesn't need to do this undertaking for a mortgage bank

I paid a holding deposit once my offer was accepted. I didn’t pay the full deposit until the bank confirmed I could draw down on the mortgage. My solicitor advised me on this action too.

Any solicitor worth their salt will put in a clause that its subject to mortgage.

I had a customer that did this online with bidex with no approval yet and it was awful for them trying to get it over the line. I’d never go near bidex

A lot of these online auctions have a notice saying auctions aren't legally binding until contracts are signed.

You put conditions in the contract that it’s void if mortgage falls through

Skill issue. You don’t sign a contract until after you do the title deed check. Some people just love throwing money around it seems 🙄

Given the pressure people are under to try to get a house in the first place this is outrageous. No auctioned property should be considered as binding - sales should be subject to title and engineer’s report. Sellers are having it both ways.
