Auction prices are low because the risk comes with the property
Auction property is sold as it stands. You cannot always inspect inside, no seller answers for defects, and the debtor or a tenant may still be living there. We check the sale notice, the title, encumbrances and unpaid common fees before you put down a deposit, so you know the full cost, and after you win we handle the transfer and the court process for removing anyone still in the property.
What we cover
Reviewing the sale notice, and whether the property is sold free of or subject to a mortgage
Title, encumbrances, access and land-use restrictions
Unpaid common fees on condo units and estate houses
Assessing occupants and tenants who may still be in the property
Objections to the sale, payment of the balance and transfer of title
Court-ordered removal of the debtor and household after purchase

Frequently asked questions about Buying Property at Court Auction
3 questions answered
If it is the debtor or the debtor's household, the buyer can ask the court in the same case to order them out — no new lawsuit is needed. A tenant or someone claiming a right of their own may need separate proceedings, which is why you check who is living there before bidding.
It has to be checked before bidding: a condo transfer needs the juristic person's no-debt letter, and the arrears affect what the property really costs you. We check the balance with the juristic person and the terms of the sale notice first.
A condo unit, yes, within the foreign-ownership quota of the building and with funds brought in as the law requires. Land, and a house on land, generally cannot be owned by a foreigner. Check the building's quota before paying the deposit.
