How to Bid
The auction sale, due to the current working environment will be a ‘closed door auction’ and conducted entirely online. Parties intending to bid can use our remote bidding services for:
Proxy bidding
Where the bidder authorises the Auctioneer to bid on their behalf up to the maximum price instructed.
Internet bidding
Where the bidder can bid from a phone, tablet or computer.
Internet bidders will be contacted by SVA Property Auctions to arrange for them to bid and they will be required to complete an additional pre-authorisation via Essential Information Group (EIG) who will run this service on our behalf. Verified bidders will be sent an email with instructions on creating an Auction Passport and accepting the EIG terms and conditions. Bidders will then be asked to confirm that they accept our remote bidding terms and conditions.
After accepting the remote bidding terms and conditions, you will be emailed information needed for the day of the auction.
