Procedure for Engaging Recovery Auctioneers and Asset Realization

Engaging professional "recovery auctioneers Kenya" involves a clear, structured process to ensure legal compliance and optimal outcomes. The procedure typically begins when a creditor, having obtained a judgment or legal right (e.g., a distress for rent warrant) instructs Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd. Our initial step involves verifying the legal basis for recovery, including scrutinizing court orders or agreements. Subsequently, we issue a proclamation notice to the debtor, providing a legal grace period. Following this, our licensed auctioneers proceed with valuation of the movable or immovable property to be proclaimed, ensuring fair market assessment in accordance with the law. The goods are then seized and stored securely. Public auction dates are meticulously advertised in local newspapers and public notices, adhering to the stipulated legal timelines. On the auction day, a transparent bidding process takes place, overseen by our team. Post-auction, all proceeds are accounted for, with the recovered debt disbursed to the client, and any surplus remitted to the debtor, all in strict compliance with the Auctioneers Rules. We manage every stage, from documentation to execution, ensuring a seamless and legally sound recovery process for our clients, providing complete peace of mind.
