Answers to the questions
investors actually ask.

A structured, solicitor-reviewed risk report on a UK auction legal pack. Every finding is rated Red, Amber or Green; tied to a clause in the source documents; and paired with a recommended bidder action.

Property investors bidding at UK auction — buy-to-let landlords, HMO operators, refurb-and-flip investors, small developers, and family offices with auction allocation. Not aimed at first-time owner-occupier buyers.

Bidq reports are pre-bid due diligence. They are reviewed by SRA-regulated property solicitors but are not a substitute for instructing your own solicitor on completion. We disclose this on every report.

Yes — residential, mixed-use and small commercial. For lots above £5m or development sites with planning complexity, contact us first so we can assign the right reviewer.

Every Bidq report is reviewed by an SRA-regulated property solicitor against documented editorial and review standards before issue. Authority sits with the Bidq solicitor review team and our published standards.

Green: clear, no action. Amber: conditional — build into your bid or accept the exposure. Red: critical — reconsider, or only proceed if your strategy explicitly fits. Every rating is paired with a recommended action.

We provide a recommended ceiling derived from your strategy, hold period, comparables, and the legal exposures in the pack. We do not guarantee outcomes and we never bid on your behalf.

Order a Supplement. We differentiate against the original review and update the rating. Standard supplement is £175; expedited is £275, both ex. VAT.

Standard: 48 working hours from upload of a complete pack. 24-Hour: within 24 hours of confirmed payment. Both clocks start when we have the full pack and your completed questionnaire.

On the 24-Hour tier we refund the difference between the expedited and standard fee if we miss. Standard tier reverts to the £595 quoted price; we do not surcharge.

Sometimes. If the lot is more than four hours away and the pack is straightforward, we can usually slot it. Use the order form and we will confirm or refund within 30 minutes.

The 24-Hour SLA runs seven days a week, including bank holidays. The Standard SLA runs working days only.
