Introduction to Auction

So you want to buy a property at an auction ?
Find out how to take part in an auction.

  • Before the auction, find out about the properties on offer, visit those that interest you, study the specification sheet, and prepare your financing.

  • The day of the auction, leave a deposit cheque with the notary in charge of the sale and collect your bidding authorization and a badge. During the auction, you will be allowed to place bids yourself. The auction proceeds according to the candle method.
    If you are the final and highest bidder, then you are declared to be the winning bidder.

  • After the auction, you have 45 days within which to pay the purchase price as well as the costs and fees of the property transfer.
    However, an overbid may be made on the property within ten days of the auction.
    The property transfer can only take place, therefore, when the sale is declared to be final.
