Property Auctions in South Africa

 

Auctions are rapidly becoming a popular method to buy and sell immovable property in South Africa. This method has been historically used by financial institutions to assist owners of immovable property to sell when their current bond has fallen into arrears and the financial institutions are unable to recover these funds from the current bond holder. 

In the prevailing market conditions, there is an upward trend for owners of residential and commercial property to make use of auctions to speed up the process of finding a suitable purchaser, alleviate additional costs when selling their immovable property and maximizing their purchase price.

The purchaser takes full responsibility to acquaint themselves with the property, and the inventory of the property, prior to bidding at the auction. All properties are sold voetstoots and the seller would not be legally responsible for fixing issues raised by the purchaser.
