Supplements & add-ons

Keep the review live as the pack evolves.

When new documents land after the initial review, or when a question warrants a solicitor on the line, these add-ons keep the analysis current without re-quoting the engagement.

+ VAT · Within 24 hours

Fast-track supplement when last-minute documents land in the pack and you still intend to bid.

+ VAT · 30-min slot

The R/A/G framework

Three ratings. Every clause, ranked.

A rating without an action is just an opinion. Bidq pairs every R, A and G with a recommended bidder action and a citation.

Green

Clear. No bidder action required.

Typical examples

Title absolute, all standard searches present, no special conditions of note.

Amber

Conditional. Build into your bid or accept the exposure.

Typical examples

Missing searches, partial replies to enquiries, vendor liability caps.

Red

Critical. Reconsider or only proceed with a strategy fit.

Typical examples

Restrictive covenants, retained vendor proceeds, unresolved planning enforcement.

Frequently asked

Questions investors actually ask.

Who reviews the report?
Every report is reviewed by an SRA-regulated property solicitor on the Bidq panel before issue. Authority sits with the firm and our published editorial standards.
When should I choose Complex Transaction Review?
Complex Transaction Review is 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. You self-select; there is no qualifying form or sales call. It includes a senior reviewing solicitor, a 30-minute Bid Decision Call, one Bidq Supplement within 14 days, and a one-page Bid Decision Memo.
Is Bidq only for auction buyers?
No. Bidq is built for any UK property investor who needs decision-grade legal analysis before committing — auction, private treaty, off-market, refinance or portfolio screening. The auction funnel is fastest because the deadline is hardest, but the framework is the same.
What if the documents change after I order?
Order a Supplement. We differentiate against the original review and update the rating. Standard supplement is £175; expedited is £275, both ex. VAT.
Do you cover commercial and development lots?
Yes — residential, mixed-use, small commercial, land and development. For complex acquisitions, choose Complex Transaction Review (£1,495).
Is this regulated legal advice?
Bidq reports are pre-acquisition due diligence. They are reviewed by SRA-regulated solicitors but are not a substitute for instructing your own solicitor on completion. Bidq is not a reserved legal activity provider.
What turnaround can I actually rely on?
Standard: 48 working hours from upload. 24-Hour: within 24 hours from confirmed payment. Complex Transaction Review: 48 working hours. The 24-Hour tier carries a refund-on-miss SLA.
