Allsop is the largest UK auction house, holding national residential and commercial auctions on a monthly cycle. Lots range from individual residential properties to institutional commercial portfolios, with packs typically running 200–500 pages and often released only days before the auction date. Competition is professional and often institutional — having the legal position confirmed before the room opens is standard practice for experienced bidders.
Allsop legal packs are dense, multi-document, and often released late in the bid window. They include the standard auction conditions, special conditions of sale, title documents, searches, and where applicable lease and tenancy documentation. Common areas to scrutinise include special conditions that shift costs to the buyer, restrictive covenants in older title registers, and the recency of searches relative to the auction date. Addenda are common and may not be flagged clearly within the pack itself.
Every Bidq report follows the same framework. This is an anonymised example representative of the issues that commonly arise in Allsop packs.
Register and plan analysis. Charges, restrictions, easements, third-party interests.
Every clause read in full. Indemnities, retentions, vacant possession, buyer’s-costs clauses.
Local authority, drainage and water, environmental. What’s present, what’s missing, what it means.
A defensible R/A/G position with a recommended ceiling — for the bid you’re actually planning.
Three tiers. The same diligence framework and the same solicitor team across all of them. Choose the turnaround that fits the Allsop sale you're bidding into.
A full pre-acquisition legal review — auction pack, seller pack or off-market documents. Title, contract, leases, searches, planning — distilled into a structured risk report.
Same depth as the Standard Report, prioritised through our solicitor team for investors working against a lot date, exchange deadline or off-market timeline.
For acquisitions where the deal merits a deeper review — typically transactions above £2.5M, properties with five or more occupational leases, mixed-use or commercial elements, multi-title or development-track sites, or portfolio purchases.
A deeper, longer-form review for material acquisitions. Senior reviewing solicitor with commercial property experience. No page or document-count limit.
