PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour.

Getting a bit frantic as this is all been very last minute.
Bidding tomorrow on a property that my parents, and grandparents before them, have lived in since it was built, so am very familiar with the property.
Have received the "auction pack" and given it the once over. With just a day's advance notice to spare, the solicitor we sent it to has refused to take it on.
Put simply - can I go to auction tomorrow and successfully bid on a property without any solicitor in place?
And how likely am I to find a solicitor who will take this on at such short notice, to complete within 20 working days?
Any immediate answers will be GREATLY appreciated!
