What you get
A report you can bid on.
Every page read.
Every document in the legal pack reviewed in full — not skimmed, not summarised.
A clear decision.
The report tells you what matters for bidding, ownership, finance and exit. Red, amber, green ratings throughout.
In time to bid.
24-hour turnaround available as standard — for the moment of pressure that matters.
Modern Method of Auction
Bidding under the modern method? Reservation fees, 56-day completion, and mortgageability work differently under MMA. Read this before you bid.
Read the MMA guide→ Why this matters
The cost of getting an auction wrong.
The cost of getting an auction purchase wrong — a missed special condition, an unexpected covenant, a service charge surprise — is materially higher than the cost of a review.
Full conveyancing is too slow and too expensive for the bidding stage. Bidq closes the gap with a focused, solicitor-reviewed pre-acquisition review designed for the moment the decision has to be made.

FAQ
Six questions an auction buyer brings.
Is Bidq a substitute for instructing a conveyancer?
No. Bidq is a pre-acquisition due diligence review designed to help you decide whether to bid. You will still need to instruct a conveyancer to act on the transaction itself.
How quickly can I receive a report?
The Bidq Standard report is delivered within 48 working hours of receiving a complete legal pack. The Bidq 24-Hour report is delivered within 24 hours. The Bidq Complex Transaction Review is delivered within 48 working hours and is designed for materially larger or more complex acquisitions.
Who reviews the report?
Every report is reviewed by an SRA-regulated solicitor before issue, against Bidq’s documented editorial and review standards.
What if my legal pack is incomplete?
Bidq reviews what is supplied and identifies the missing items that matter. The report sets out what should be asked for from the seller’s solicitor.
What does the report actually look like?
See the sample report above. Bidq reports are written as decision-grade prose, not generic legal templates, with red, amber and green ratings throughout.
Is this legal advice?
No. Bidq provides document-based pre-acquisition due diligence and does not provide regulated legal advice. Use of Bidq is subject to our Terms and Conditions.
