How BTG Eddisons legal packs are structured.

The legacy brand sites remain live and cross-linked, so the same group may reach you as Pugh, SDL, Mark Jenkinson or Network depending on which door you came through. The practical consequence for a bidder is that the platform, the registration process and the fee structure are broadly common across them, while the diary, the lot mix and the local marketing still differ by brand.

Legal packs and contracts sit on the property listing and go up as soon as they are sent through by the seller’s solicitor, rather than to a fixed publication date - so pack availability varies lot by lot within the same catalogue. Registration runs through an Auction Passport account and live streams are watched through EIG. The critical distinction on any BTG Eddisons lot is whether it is unconditional or conditional, because the two carry different fees and very different timetables: unconditional lots carry a buyer’s fee and exchange on the fall of the hammer, while conditional lots carry a non-refundable reservation fee that does not count towards the purchase price and run a 60-day timetable. Deposits are described as usually five to ten per cent of the purchase price, a wider band than the flat ten per cent common elsewhere. Neither the buyer’s fee nor the reservation fee is published as a fixed figure, so both need reading from the particular lot.

What BTG Eddisons sells

Residential, commercial, industrial, mixed-use and land. The commercial range runs from industrial units, warehouses, business centres and offices to car parks, workshops, pubs, former bank premises and ground rents; the residential side includes hotels, care homes, blocks of flats and student accommodation. That breadth means the reviewable risk varies enormously between lots in the same catalogue - a former bank turns on planning use and alterations, a block of flats on tenancy schedules and service charge arrears.

A realistic example

Three findings from a BTG Eddisons review.

Anonymised illustrations, chosen to be representative of the issues that arise on BTG Eddisons lots. Every report rates each finding red, amber or green and sets out what to do about it.

F-01 Red

Conditional lot mistaken for unconditional in the buyer’s planning

The lot is offered conditionally: a non-refundable reservation fee is payable on the fall of the hammer, it does not count towards the purchase price, and the 60-day timetable does not match a bridging facility drawn for a 28-day completion.

F-02 Amber

Legal pack incomplete at the point of review

Packs are uploaded as the seller’s solicitor supplies them; searches and replies to enquiries were outstanding when the pack was reviewed and should be re-checked before bidding.

F-03 Green

Commercial lease with full repairing and insuring terms confirmed

The occupational lease is on full repairing and insuring terms with no unusual break rights, and the rent review mechanism is upward-only on a five-yearly cycle as described.

FAQ

BTG Eddisons - common questions.

Quick answers on coverage, turnaround and how Bidq fits alongside your solicitor.

Which auction brands are now part of BTG Eddisons Property Auctions?

Eddisons states that SDL Auctions, Pugh Auctions and Mark Jenkinson now sit under the BTG Eddisons Property Auctions name, and Network Auctions has been part of the group since 2025. The legacy websites remain live and cross-linked, so you may encounter the same group under any of those brands. Bidq reviews the pack for your lot whichever brand issued it.

How do I tell whether a BTG Eddisons lot is unconditional or conditional?

This is the single most important thing to establish before bidding, because the two routes differ in both cost and timetable. Unconditional lots exchange on the fall of the hammer and carry a buyer’s fee. Conditional lots carry a non-refundable reservation fee, which does not count towards the purchase price, and run a 60-day timetable. The distinction is set out per lot; the report confirms which applies and what it means for your funding.

Why is the legal pack sometimes incomplete when I look at it?

BTG Eddisons uploads packs as soon as the seller’s solicitor supplies them rather than to a fixed publication date, so completeness varies lot by lot even within one catalogue. A review can proceed on what has been supplied: the report identifies what is missing, explains what the gap means commercially, and sets out the questions to put to the seller’s solicitor before you bid.

What deposit should I budget for on a BTG Eddisons lot?

Deposits are described as usually five to ten per cent of the purchase price, which is a wider band than the flat ten per cent used at many houses. Since the applicable figure is lot-specific, it should be read from the particular lot rather than assumed - and it belongs in your funding plan before the sale, not after.

Do you review lots across all the BTG Eddisons brands?

Yes. Bidq reviews lots sold under BTG Eddisons Property Auctions and under the Pugh, SDL, Mark Jenkinson and Network brands. The platform and fee structure are broadly common across them, but the diary, lot mix and local conventions still differ, and the review is written against the documents actually issued for your lot.
