Buying at Auction? WATCH THIS FIRST

Buying a property at auction can be one of the fastest ways to secure a great deal, but it can also be one of the easiest ways to lose thousands if you do not know what you are doing. In this episode of the OMZ Property Podcast, I sit down with William Michael, property lawyer, legal entrepreneur and partner at Taylor Rose, to discuss the hidden risks of buying at auction, why legal pack reviews are essential, and the costly mistakes investors, developers and first-time auction buyers often make. William shares his experience in residential conveyancing, commercial property, auction legal packs, bridging finance transactions and working with property investors and developers. We also discuss how conveyancing has changed, why cheap online conveyancing can create serious problems, and what buyers should look out for before bidding at auction. In this episode, we cover: ✅ Why auction legal packs must be reviewed before bidding ✅ The £10,000+ mistakes hidden in special conditions ✅ How buyers can lose their deposit after auction ✅ Why changing the buyer name after auction can cause problems ✅ The role of bridging finance in auction purchases ✅ Sole representation vs dual representation in bridging ✅ Why cheap conveyancing can delay or damage a transaction ✅ How property lawyers support investors and developers ✅ The risks of buying without proper due diligence ✅ What it takes to build and scale a property law practice One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is simple: never buy at auction without understanding the legal pack, the title, the searches and the special conditions. The cheapest advice before you bid could save you from the most expensive mistake after the hammer falls. Whether you are a property investor, developer, landlord, first-time buyer, auction buyer, mortgage broker, estate agent or aspiring property lawyer, this episode is packed with practical insight into the legal side of property transactions.

In this episode of the OMZ Property Podcast, I sit down with Andy Bebbington, an experienced property investor and developer who has worked on over £150 million worth of property projects. Andy has been involved in property for around 25 years, starting with student houses and buy-to-lets before moving into HMOs, commercial conversions, development projects, pension-led property investing and private lending. We discuss how Andy built his property experience, what he learned from taking too much risk before the financial crisis, and why he now looks at deals through a much more risk-focused lens. In this episode, we cover: Commercial to residential conversions SAS and SIPP money in property Private lending and due diligence Peer-to-peer lending platforms Why some property investors lose money Development risk and contractor risk The importance of buying well HMOs, flips, ground-up development and BRR Why social media can create unrealistic expectations What Andy would do today if he had to start again with £100,000 This is a really honest conversation about property investing, risk, leverage and how to build a sustainable property business without getting carried away by hype.
