|Thought I'd share I bought my first place about 3 months ago through an Auction. I got fed up of dealing with idiot estate agents, offers and counter offers, gazumping.
It was a brilliant experience. Found a place we liked, went to auction, won and now we're in. Also saved ourselves a shitload of cash too.
The only issue was I didn't get a little paddle in the auction like I had seen in Homes under the Hammer :-(
Didn't both with a survey as it is £800 I was spending on other items - the house was a probate property so needed lots of work such as central heating, pipes, electrics etc
