    You'd be responsible for any liens that are on the house, including the mortgage

    if you have never purchased at auction before you need to read the auction Terms & Conditions, you need to view the property, get it surveyed so you know what problems you are buying, you need to read the property pack, know if you win the bid once the hammer falls you have purchased, need at least 10% paid there and then, know you have auction commission on top of the price you paid and have to pay the rest normally within a week, sometimes you purchase both debts of the previous owner and pay their auction costs too............. read the packs on each and every property you plan to bid on, know what you are getting into BEFORE you bid
