100% cashbuyer to buy reposession

I always thought surveys and things were done before the auction? Surely if you are the winning bidder, when the hammer goes down and you are obliged to buy it at the price you bid for it, there doesnt seem much point in having a survey done if you HAVE to buy it at that price???

When it gets to exchange of contracts ask them to knock another 5 k off or you will walk away. Remember if it is a repo you are dealing with the original lending bank not a tenant. It's payback time.I came in to this world with nothing and I've still got most of it left. :rolleyes:0

I don't believe this is/was an auction sale this time. I think the OP is dealing directly with an estate agent from the earlier comments.
I also thought that sale via auction was legally binding and I still believe that's usually the case.Indecision is the key to flexibility
