Legal Framework Governing Auctioneers and Asset Sales in Kenya

The auctioning of auction goods in Kenya is strictly regulated to ensure fairness and transparency. The primary legislation governing auctioneers is the Auctioneers Act, 2010, which outlines licensing requirements, conduct of auctioneers, and the procedures for conducting auctions. This Act mandates that only licensed auctioneers can conduct sales, whether public or private. Furthermore, the Civil Procedure Act (Cap 21) and the Insolvency Act, 2017, provide the legal basis for seizing and selling assets in cases of debt default, court judgments, or bankruptcy. Banks, financial institutions, and government agencies often rely on auctioneers to dispose of movable and immovable property. Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd operates with full adherence to these legal statutes, ensuring that every auction is conducted lawfully, with proper documentation and notification procedures followed. Our expertise in the Kenyan legal landscape guarantees a compliant and professional auction process.
