How quickly will I receive payment?
Payment timing follows completion, not the auction day itself.
On modern UK property auctions, exchange often happens immediately on the fall of the hammer (subject to the legal pack and conditions)
Completion — when money moves — is usually scheduled on a fixed date afterwards, commonly around 28 days (sometimes 56), depending on the lot and solicitor progress
Your solicitor holds client money rules and will confirm the exact timeline
If you need a specific cash-flow date, tell the team early so completion can be structured realistically.
