# PROPERTY AUCTION LEGAL PACK

Date: 3 May 2031

Parties: Riverside Auctions Limited and the sellers, Martin and Jo Ellis

## 1. Purpose and parties

This legal pack concerns 42 Mill Lane, Wexford, title number WK778811, offered by Martin and Jo Ellis through Riverside Auctions. The property is freehold, subject to the title entries and special conditions, and is occupied by a tenant under the disclosed tenancy rather than promised with vacant possession.

## 2. Facts, scope and terms

The pack includes official copies of the register and title plan, the seller's property information and fittings forms, a CON29R local search dated 20 April, drainage and water search, environmental search, EPC, tenancy and rent schedule, planning documents and available guarantees. A contents index identifies missing or pending items.

## 3. Process and responsibilities

The special conditions provide for unconditional exchange when the hammer falls, a 10% deposit, completion 28 days later and the buyer's responsibility for SDLT and searches. They state that the buyer purchases subject to the tenancy, accepts the title guarantee specified there and pays the disclosed buyer's premium and VAT. If conditions conflict with general auction conditions, the special conditions prevail.

## 4. Evidence, records and safeguards

The auctioneer has checked the pack against documents supplied by the sellers, but the pack is not a survey, valuation or warranty that every fact is accurate. Buyers must inspect, obtain independent legal and building advice, check planning and utilities, review the lease or tenancy and satisfy themselves about finance, insurance, VAT and SDLT.

## 5. Review, escalation and outcome

Martin and Jo must promptly disclose a material title, occupation or litigation change. The auctioneer records versions and corrections and will make addenda available before the auction where practicable. A buyer should read any addendum and obtain confirmation of its effect; winning the lot normally creates a binding contract subject to the conditions.

## 6. Reservations and practical protections

The pack does not promise vacant possession, mortgage availability, planning consent, a particular yield or completion without risk. Failure to complete may expose the buyer to contractual remedies and loss of deposit. Sellers and buyers should use their conveyancers to address requisitions rather than rely on this index alone.

## 7. England and Wales law and completion

England and Wales property law and the stated auction conditions apply. The pack is dated 3 May 2031, signed by Riverside's authorised pack officer and made available through the auction office and secure data room as separate permitted delivery methods. It is a completed fictional pack, not legal advice or an invitation to bid.
