Tips On Getting Right Bargain In Auction Sales

By Lelia Hall


Buying items at auction can be very exciting and profitable as well. The process is full of fun and significantly different from the normal purchasing process in the ordinary sales. Here, you don't have to go through the lengthy purchasing procedure in which a great deal of endurance is required, not forgetting that the risk of everything falling apart at the 11th hour is ever present. With auction sales, the fall of the hammer is what you need.

However, the difference between getting your bargain and losing money is preparedness. Conducting a detailed research before going for the bid can be extremely valuable. The properties available for auctions are listed in the local dailies, magazines, property papers, and with the local property agents.

After locating the site for action, you have to get the property catalogue and spend a significant amount of time scrutinizing it. It is wrong to bid on properties on the spur of the moment as you can end up with what you don't require. Being prepared is far much better than relying on your instincts. With instincts, you are counting on luck, and as you know, luck rarely strikes twice.

After deciding on what property you are interested in, the next step is to physically view it. This is done by contacting the auctioneers and they get to inform you on the viewing day or guide you through in case viewing can be done on any day. In some cases, you may consider more than one viewing so as to be familiar with all facets of the property.

If the property is a real estate, it is most likely to be in a poor condition, and you might consider taking an expert like and architect, property developer or a builder to give you more insight and useful information that may affect bidding.

Once contented with the viewing process, it is necessary that you proceed to conduct a thorough research with the main objective being to compare prices and the condition of other properties available for sale with the local estate agents. This gives you the right picture of the true market value of the property. In order to entice bidders, bidding prices are likely to be lower. This ensures that you bid with the right amount and you don't end up spending too much than necessary.

The process is not complete before familiarizing yourself with the legal aspects surrounding the property. The auctioneers have the legal pact and they should avail it to you. By carefully studying it, you should be aware of issues that might affect the property cost. In some instances, the services of a solicitor may be required to help you through in analyzing covenants and similar issues.

Take care of finance issues well in advance and get at least 10% deposit on D-day. On the day, get to the auction house early enough, register and wait for the action to start. When bidding, always remember to have a price ceiling that you must not exceed. It can be very tempting to exceed the target, but it can be costly, just do enough prior research so that you know the right price well in advance.
