Thinking of bidding at a property auction in South Africa? Don't go in unprepared!
Most bidders at an auction participate in the auction knowing that each bid made constitutes a legally binding offer to purchase the item on auction and hence, pay in cash. However, you can obtain finance to purchase real estate but it is best to understand the law and the process.
South African law states that the winning bidder at an auction is liable for full payment of the item, regardless of having access to funds or not. This means that winning a bid makes the buyer a creditor to the seller and must make payment anyhow they can. Having the cash upfront is the most common way to remove risk, but having a Qualified Buyer Certificate provides the assurances to all parties that the risk of not having the funds available at registration of transfer will not jeopardise the entire transaction.
