Savills runs national commercial and prestige residential auctions on a roughly quarterly cycle, with higher average lot values and more institutional buyers than the residential mainstream. Lots commonly include investment buildings, land parcels, and mixed-use blocks. Packs are commercial-leaning, with lease and yield-related documentation often carrying the most analytical weight for any investor bidding on an income-producing asset.
Savills packs typically lead with title and contract documents and contain extensive lease, schedule of condition, service charge, and management documentation for income-producing assets. The key risk areas are lease term residue, break clauses, rent reviews, service charge caps, and any side letters not bundled with the headline lease. Commercial lots may also raise VAT election questions that affect acquisition cost.
Every Bidq report follows the same framework. This is an anonymised example representative of the issues that commonly arise in Savills 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 Savills 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.
