I would like to know ...

I go to high court auction, facing almost ALL PROPERTIES Call off due to new regulation imposed by high court to Bank (3% of selling price need to pay to High court from Bank b4 auction those houses)....

A lot of banks not willing to PAY YET....

1. DOcument more complete ?? high court ?
2. difference ?
3. Advantage & disadvantages ?

I never seen such regulation before... hmm.gif

Usually is just the deposit of 10%.

I prefer auction house rather than high court.

Personal reason. icon_idea.gif

U mean the 3% , actually the bank can get it back ??

I don't understand why the bank refuse to pay or pay so late...

I m curious to know that , WHY willing to auction the house to HIGH COURT, instead of auction it by themselves ?

One of the reason from auction house switch to High Court because the property got no bidders for quite some time.

Usually High court will pay all outstanding fees and reserve price more cheaper. rclxm9.gif

But maybe my info not 100% correct and always welcome new info.

hmm.gif

Personally prefer Auction house cause is easier to get compare with High court.

Rather waiting to fight with 20-30 bidders better off with 2-3 bidders.

To be honest, most auction houses properties have less bidders than high court auction and in some ways Alvin may be right. High court auction attracts a lot of bidders due to a lot less inherent risks compared with LACA properties. A hot property will always be hot. The only difference is whether the property can only be sold via LACA or high court. An auctioneer cannot choose the method of auction, only the property, with or without title will determine the type of auction.

I think i'm wrong in that part.

How about land office ? Sometime auction take part in land office at government office there.

What's the reason ? hmm.gif

If you buy high court auction, one should be prepared to have cash. Even if there are no caveat, sometimes, it does take time to do the drawdown from your end financier.

LACA also depends on bank, most banks would allow extension, but there are some who might be recalcitrant.

I think both high court and public auction need a lot of cash. At least 20-30% of the reserve price. hmm.gif
