Pugh runs auctions across the North of England, the Midlands, and Wales, covering residential, commercial, and development lots. Auction frequency is roughly bi-monthly, with a regional buyer concentration and an online-first format. Unregistered land, older registered titles, and Welsh-law overlays make northern and Welsh lots a category where careful title review pays material dividends.
Pugh packs cover the standard UK auction structure with documentation calibrated to each lot category. The most common pack-related risks are in title and search documentation for older properties and unregistered land — categories well represented in the North and Wales auction inventory. For Wales lots, additional care is needed on Land Transaction Tax (LTT) rather than SDLT and any planning conditions specific to Wales.
Every Bidq report follows the same framework. This is an anonymised example representative of the issues that commonly arise in Pugh 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 Pugh 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.
