Auction Countdown
Each lot displays its scheduled close time. Times shown in the online auction service should be treated as authoritative unless a documented technical or operational issue requires a fair adjustment.
Operational rules for online bidding, countdowns, fair-bidding extensions, reserve indicators, bid audit records and winner confirmation.
Each lot displays its scheduled close time. Times shown in the online auction service should be treated as authoritative unless a documented technical or operational issue requires a fair adjustment.
Where a bid is placed close to the scheduled end time, the auction may extend automatically so verified bidders have a fair opportunity to respond.
Reserve status may be shown as met or not met without exposing the confidential reserve price. A sale is not confirmed unless the relevant auction and legal requirements are satisfied.
Bids, bidder eligibility checks, timestamps, legal-pack acknowledgements and winner confirmation events may be retained for audit, dispute and compliance purposes.
If a material service issue affects bidding fairness, the auction team may pause, extend, restart or otherwise manage the auction in a documented and proportionate manner.
Property auction documents should be reviewed with appropriately qualified legal, financial, tax and surveying advisers before any binding decision is made.
