STEP 1
Peruse the lots
Head over to our lots page to identify the lot(s) you are interested in. Note that some properties are offered with vacant possession, some are tenanted and some may be part-vacant.
STEP 2
Guide prices
Every property or land lot has a Guide price that is published in the auction catalogue. The guide price is an indication of what the seller expects to achieve and is therefore subject to change.
The guide price is not the price at which the property will necessarily sell and it is not uncommon for properties to sell for a considerable amount above the guide price.
