Understanding Kenya's Legal Framework for Auctioneering

The practice of auctioneering in Kenya is meticulously regulated by the Auctioneers Act, 2010, and its accompanying regulations. This legislation mandates that all auctioneers must be licensed and adhere to strict procedural guidelines to ensure fairness, transparency, and legality in the sale of movable and immovable properties. Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd operates with full compliance, holding the necessary licenses from the Executive Committee of Auctioneers. Our services are designed to meet and exceed these legal requirements, ensuring that every auction conducted is beyond reproach. This includes proper notification procedures, accurate asset valuation, lawful advertisement of sales as per statutes like the Registered Land Act, and the secure handling of sale proceeds, thereby safeguarding our clients and the public interest.

Procedure & Requirements

Our end-to-end Kenya auctioneering services cover every critical stage of the process. This begins with the secure repossession of assets, which may include vehicles, machinery, equipment, or real estate, often in conjunction with our debt recovery and skip tracing expertise. We then conduct thorough asset valuation to determine the optimal reserve price. Subsequently, we manage the entire advertisement process, publishing notices in designated newspapers such as the Kenya Gazette and local dailies, as required by law. Our auctioneers conduct public auctions, either on-site or virtually, ensuring maximum bidder participation. Following the sale, we manage the disbursement of proceeds, settling outstanding debts, covering auction costs, and remitting any balance to the rightful owner, all documented meticulously to comply with financial reporting standards and the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act.

Our Fee Structure and Commitment to Value

Kenya auctioneering services

Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd offers competitive and transparent fee structures for our Kenya auctioneering services. Our remuneration is typically governed by the Auctioneers Act, 2010, which often dictates a commission-based fee on the value of assets sold. This commission rate typically ranges from 5% to 15% of the gross sale value, depending on the type of asset (movable versus immovable property) and its complexity. For example, the sale of a motor vehicle might attract a commission of 10%, while a larger commercial property could be 5% plus disbursements. We also account for ancillary costs such as legal fees, advertising expenses, and repossession charges, which are clearly itemized in our proposals. Our goal is to maximize your return while ensuring our fees are fair and justifiable, providing exceptional value for your investment.
