LOOKING to buy a property? It’s worth checking out what is available via auction.

Most property auctions now use what is called the Modern Method of Auction, which usually takes place online and means that once the property is won, the buyer pays a reservation fee.

After this, the buyer has a period of exclusivity in which to exchange contracts with the seller, and a further 28 days after exchanging contracts to pay the full amount.

Here are some of the Woking properties that are currently up for auction and their guide prices.
