Property auction used faulse photos

[BlackCat144]

I've recently bought a property at auction without viewing first. I know silly. Deposit paid. Havnt had official viewing yet so went to take a look.

Photos of kitchen, living area and bathroom not the same place. Tenant says no work been done to the place during 12 year tenancy. What are my rights here ? Could I cancel / offer cheaper price. Would kind of like to help the tenant who is now down stairs living due to recent hip replacement but on low income myself currently.

Not the same place as in a completely different property or not the same place as in photos taken when it was in better decorative order? If the former then that is a bit shady and might mean you can pull out but if the latter then nothing you can do. The onus would have been on yourself to satisfy yourself prior to bidding and entering into a contract to purchase. What are the photos you have uploaded of?

Caveat emptor OP.

The kitchen in the screenshot is not the same house surely? It has a door by the window.

Nothing you can do. When you buy at auction you just get what you end up with. Entirely your fault for not viewing such an expensive thing before buying it! All this will be covered by the auction conditions and the legal pack for the property so check those to make sure if you like.
However, it looks totally livable and looks quite well maintained so consider yourself lucky that the whole thing isn't falling down.

Do you think he pics might be from the downstairs flat?

In a two up two down that’s likely to be the living room, the door goes straight into the living room, the kitchen will be at the back.

But if you look at the pictures OP has posted, the third on is a Rightmove screenshot of the property photos. One of them is a photo of a kitchen. It is not a photo of the same kitchen OP has bought (photo 1), because it has a door on the same wall as the window and sink.

OP I’d speak to your solicitor but I suspect there is nothing you can do - the packs usually have a disclaimer that the buyer is responsible for verifying all the information is correct.

Yes, and the two photos of kitchens do not match.

Def not the same as your house, OP.
But as @WTAFisthisnonsense sa8d, caveat emptor.

Looks OK though and in decent nick with a tenant who wishes to stay there, so could be an awful lot worse!

That's not the case when a house has been misrepresented. It's the case when a place is sold as seen.

@BlackCat144 Why have you bought this house exactly?
And what do you mean by ‘Would kind of like to help the tenant who is now down stairs living due to recent hip replacement but on low income myself currently.’?
You are on a low income but have bought a house with an elderly tenant, unseen? What if the house needs £££ spending on it? What if the tenant stops paining the rent?
I don’t understand the plan here as ‘low income’, being a landlord, unknown financial liabilities buying a house unseen don’t all go together.
I suppose you don’t even live in that neck of the woods if you bought it unseen?

You have bought at auction, so contracts have exchanged. It will be very expensive not to complete. Would love to know why you bidded without viewing? Misrepresented is not an option I don’t believe.
