Went for my maiden auction yesterday.

I phoned up at 12 noon and he said the auction of the unit is still on and ask me to come at 2 pm to register.

When I reach the place at 2 pm, they say the auction unit is WITHDRAWN !  shocking.gif

What trick are they up to ? They should at least give 12 hour notice so we dont' waste our time buying bank draft and wasting petrol money and taking leave !

When I went that time to register, there were no buyers for other auction units but a lot of agents there waiting and sitting.

What are the agents doing there ?  hmm.gif

Maybe last minute the owner paid up. There have been cases whereby the auctioneer is informed at the very LAST minute. Literally the instruction to call off the auction of a property could be delivered by the legal council in attendance. Of course this applies to LACA auctions and not Court auctions. Don't think court auctions could be called off that easily.

Agents get commission from banks if their client is the successful bidder. They are there to help their client as some of them are unfamiliar with the paperwork and procedures.

The problem is that the property was on auction for 6 times and nobody bidded. Why now ?

There could be many reasons. Some valid some not so valid. Why don't you ask the banker on the spot why was it called off? They, as well as the solicitors are usually there to monitor the proceedings to ensure no hanky panky is going on.

Most LACA auctions have no problem with non-bidders attending auction.
