The Attachment and Auction Process in Nairobi

The process initiated by attachment auctioneers Nairobi typically begins with a court order granting permission to attach and sell specific assets to satisfy a debt. This often involves obtaining a decree from a competent court, such as the Magistrates' Court or the High Court of Kenya, followed by the issuance of a warrant of attachment. Our agents then identify and secure the attached movable or immovable property, maintaining its custody until the auction date. Effective skip tracing techniques may be employed to locate hidden assets. Following attachment, proper notification is given to the judgement debtor regarding the date, time, and venue of the public auction, as mandated by the Auctioneers Act. Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd ensures all advertising requirements are met, typically in designated local newspapers, to attract a wide range of potential buyers and facilitate competitive bidding. The auction itself is conducted openly, with transparent bidding processes managed by our experienced auctioneers.
