Comprehensive Auctioneering Procedures and Asset Management
The operational procedures employed by leading auctioneering firms Kenya wide, like Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd, are designed for maximum efficiency and security. Our process begins with a formal instruction from a decree-holder, chargee, or landlord, accompanied by the necessary legal instruments (e.g., court order, warrant of attachment, charge document, distress for rent warrant). Upon instruction, our licensed auctioneers proceed with the attachment of assets, ensuring proper inventory and documentation. For movable goods, a proclamation notice (7 days) is issued to the debtor. For immovable property, meticulous attention is paid to the statutory notice periods under the Land Act. We then engage independent, registered valuers to provide an accurate valuation and set a reserve price for the assets. This is followed by robust marketing and advertising campaigns in prominent national newspapers and digital platforms to attract a broad base of potential buyers. The public auction is conducted with utmost transparency, allowing competitive bidding. Post-auction, we handle all the intricate legal and logistical aspects, including preparing the certificate of sale, coordinating with land registries or NTSA for transfer of ownership, and providing a detailed account of sale proceeds to our instructing client. Our services extend to repossession, distress for rent, and the sale of abandoned goods.
