Auction versus Private Treaty and the Difference therein.
To sell at Auction all the legal work is done in advance. The Auction usually takes place after a marketing period of 4-5 weeks and at the fall of the hammer there is a legally binding contract with a 10% non-refundable deposit and a completion date of 28 days later. With a Private Treaty sale, the legal documents are prepared once the property has been Sale Agreed subject to Contract. In these straitened times, buyers more often than not choose to renegotiate once the contract is issued or a survey has been undertaken.
