Strettons holds monthly auctions focused on London and South East commercial and mixed-use property, with a long-standing commercial agent reputation in East London. Lot sizes are typically smaller than the national houses, but pack complexity per lot is comparable — and for mixed-use lots, the interaction between commercial use class and residential tenancy law adds a further layer of analysis.
Strettons packs cover the standard auction conditions plus lease, planning, and use-class documentation for commercial lots. Mixed-use lots add residential tenancy paperwork. Key scrutiny areas include use class designation, change-of-use planning history, and any unregistered leases over short tenancies in mixed-use blocks. Ground-rent and leasehold investment lots require close reading of the lease schedule and rent-review mechanism.
Every Bidq report follows the same framework. This is an anonymised example representative of the issues that commonly arise in Strettons 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 Strettons 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.
