The Mandate and Responsibilities of High Court Auctioneers in Kenya

The auction process managed by high court auctioneers Kenya is meticulously regulated to uphold fairness and legality. Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd follows a structured approach to ensure full compliance. Once a warrant of attachment and sale is obtained from the court, the first step involves physically attaching the property. For movable assets like vehicles or machinery, this might mean taking possession and storing them securely. For immovable property, such as land or buildings, attachment typically involves placing a prohibitory notice on the property's title and notifying relevant authorities. Following attachment, the property must be advertised for sale. Under the Civil Procedure Rules, immovable property typically requires at least 14 days' notice in a newspaper, while movable property may have shorter notice periods. The reserve price, if any, is determined based on professional valuations to safeguard the interests of the judgment creditor. On the auction day, our experienced auctioneers conduct the sale publicly, managing bids and ensuring competitive participation. A successful bidder pays a deposit immediately, with the balance due within a stipulated period, often 30 days for immovable property. Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd handles all documentation, including the certificate of sale, which is crucial for transferring ownership. We also provide detailed accounts of sale proceeds, deducting statutory auctioneer fees and other allowable expenses before remitting the balance to the judgment creditor, thereby ensuring a clear and legally sound transaction. Our commitment to transparency is unwavering, ensuring clients are informed at every stage.
