Frequently Asked Questions
How does land auction work?
Land auction is a timed sale process: your lot is marketed to registered bidders, and on auction day bids are placed openly (or under the auctioneer’s rules). If bidding reaches your **reserve** (minimum acceptable price), the highest bid wins and the buyer is typically committed to exchange on the hammer, with completion following on an agreed date — often around **28 days** depending on the legal pack and lot....

Yes. A **reserve** is the confidential minimum price you are willing to accept....
What happens if it doesn't sell at auction?
If the lot **does not reach the reserve**, the property is **not sold** on the day....
How quickly will I receive payment?
