Once you have found a suitable property, we can assist you with finding out as much information about the property as possible. However viewing the property is strictly advised. To do this, contact us to arrange a suitable time to view the property or check the dates for open house / block viewings.

Once you have registered and your account and it’s active you will be able to download and view the legal pack. This has been compiled by the vendors solicitor and generally contains copies of the Title Deeds, Special Conditions of Sale, Land Registry Search, Leases (if applicable) and other appropriate documents. These are available to download via the property details page on our website. It is important that you inspect the paperwork before placing a bid and view the terms of sale with the property. Tip, Always remember that if the online electronic hammer falls on your bid then a binding contract comes into existence, so make sure that you do all your due diligence beforehand and have all your documentation provided by your solicitor.
Before clicking “Buy Now” and purchasing the property, you must first complete the Anti Money Laundering check in your account area. The check is instant and once your Anti Money Laundering check is complete, you’ll be ready to purchase a property on our Opal Property Auction platform.
Once this is done, press “Buy Now” on your requested property to purchase the property with a reservation fee.
After clicking “Buy Now” you will be required to pay the reservation fee of 1% of the purchase price (subject to a minimum amount of £2,000) to secure the property plus the Buyers Premium Fee of 1% (+ VAT) of the purchase price (subject to a minimum amount of £3,000) which will be taken from your credit card you registered with and also by bank transfer if there is any shortfall in the deposit and fees.
Any buyer via “Buy Now” will have 28 days to exchange contracts and a further 14 business days in which to complete the sale. At this point the sale becomes secure and binding for both buyer and vendor..
As you will need to exchange within 28 days and complete within 14 days, we advise you to have a conveyancing solicitor ready to act on your behalf. Your sale will be dealt with by our sales progression team who will keep all parties up to date with the progress of the sale. During this period, we advise you act swiftly and liaise with your conveyancer to ensure deadlines for completion are met. Note, if you require assistance with appointing a suitable conveyancer, please speak to our auction team or the partner agent who can assist in appointing one of our panel solicitors.
It’s the day the final funds are transferred and the day you get the keys to start either moving into your new home or receiving the income from your investment. You can arrange to pick your new keys up either directly from the vendor or alternatively we can arrange for the keys to be left with your solicitor / our partner agents.
