Quincy I bought my house at auction which this site is though I had not seen before. Not sure where you got the £3.5k from you are required to pay 10% of the value at the fall of the hammer so if the house cost £100k you would need to come up with £10k on the day of the auction plus the charge of £900 for the auction. Yes and if you do not complete within 20 days you risk loosing that. If you need a mortgage it is possible to sort one out before the auction but mortgage companies do not like it much. I bid on the basis that I had 60% of the money up front only to find I could not get a mortgage because my house is next to a chicken shop. If you are really interested PM me

Sorry to ask again but...
Has anyone bought a house via online auction? Specifically https://www.networkauctions.co.uk?
I'm slightly apprehensive about putting down £3.5k immediately (assuming I even won the auction!) before seeing a survey or actually knowing much about the property!
Any guidance? Cheers, Joe
