If you are the highest bidder at the end of an auction, here are your post-auction obligations:
Contract Information: Your information is required to generate the Purchase Agreement. You will receive an email confirming you have the highest bid. You will then need to provide important contracting information by filling out a form you can preview the required information on this form as a printable checklist. Make sure to submit the form within1 business day.
Subject to Seller’s Confirmation: If the property is being sold as “subject to seller’s confirmation,” the seller must approve your auction bid before the sale can be finalized. During this time, the seller will review your bid and determine if it is within their acceptable range. You will receive an email notification if this applies.
Purchase Agreement: Once everything is verified, the Purchase Agreement will be generated and you will need to sign and return the document for the seller to review and sign.
Deposit payment: You will be asked to pay a deposit of 30 % of the final auction value to G&P Lazarou’s stipulated account within 1 business day and send a copy of your confirmation receipt to G&P Lazarou the same day.
Proof of Funds: You need to provide G&P Lazarou a copy of your Proof of Funds by email within2 business days.
Final payment: You will need to settle the remaining purchase amount (total amount of bid less deposit amount and less 30 % deposit payment done immediately after the purchase) within max. 20 business days after the successful auction.
Hand over of property and title deeds: The hand over of the property will be done within max 30 business days after the successful bidding date. In most of the cases this will be simultaneously done within max 1-2 business days after receiving the final payment or even the same day.
Contract not honored: If the successful bidder will not honor the contract and the sale will not be completed within the 20 business days, the purchase contract will be cancelled and made void and the successful bidder will lose the initial bidding deposit as well as the 10 % deposit payment.
Note that specific requirements may vary on a per-auction basis. Please carefully review all communication from our team to ensure everything is submitted correctly and in a timely manner
