What is a renovation property?
A renovation property is one that needs work before it’s usable or saleable. How much work depends on the property and its history.
Some just need updating and others haven’t been maintained for a long time. You don’t always know the full picture at first.
Renovation properties can include:
- Houses and flats
- Commercial buildings
- Industrial units
- Mixed-use properties
- Old retail or office spaces
A lot of these end up at auction because of their condition. They’re usually bought by people who expect problems and budget for them. Not everything goes to plan and that’s part of it.
How do I buy a renovation property at auction?
Buying a renovation property at auction isn’t like buying through an agent. It moves faster and there’s less room to pause.
Most people start by scanning auction listings and pulling out a few properties that clearly need work. Some are fairly basic jobs and others aren’t. That usually becomes obvious quite quickly.
Before bidding, you’ll need to go through the legal pack and that's not optional. Viewings help if you can get one, and surveys aren’t always possible.
Auction properties are sold as seen. If something is missed beforehand, it’s still yours afterwards.
You’ll usually need to register with the auction house in advance and show proof of funds. On the day, if you win the bid, a deposit is paid straight away. Normally around 10%. The rest is due a few weeks later. Auction sales moves quickly.
