Auction Property

Buying auction property can be a good investment opportunity. However, it carries significant legal risks. Unlike normal subsale property purchases, auction sales are “as is where is,” meaning you accept the property in its existing condition, including undisclosed problems with non-negotiable contract terms.

Our firm protects auction buyers by conducting comprehensive legal checks before you bid, subject to official engagement and charges being collected.

Why Auction Properties Are Risky

• You must pay a 10% deposit immediately
• No viewing is guaranteed
• Property may be occupied by tenants/squatters
• Hidden debts such as maintenance fees or assessments
• Renovations may be illegal
• Title may have encumbrances or caveats
• The bank does NOT repair or compensate anything
