You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancing practitioner.

The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

Every auction property will have an associated auction set of papers. This should include evidence of title and search results. In the case of leasehold premises the legal papers should provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork relating to leasehold premises. You must give this to the conveyancer instructed by you as soon as possible. You also need to ensure that that you have the requisite funding organised to complete on the date specified in the contract.
