Your friend must be a bit daft if he never arranged qoutes for work before buying a property from auction, the same as you would when you buy a property here in the U.K. !

I've always been lucky at the auctions.Ive looked at the court auctions but do not think they are any cheaper than the proper auctions as like both ways the guide prices are only starting prices and im also worried about the fact that the court properties you take them as they are and the tennanted properties might come with no leases etc. But maybe im wrong !

If you have any further information it would be good to know !
