How to bid
At the auction the properties will be offered for sale in lot order unless otherwise advised. Bids will be invited and, normally, the highest bidder over the reserve will secure the property. Colliers International reserves the right to regulate the bidding and to refuse any bid at our sole discretion. We also reserve the right to reoffer a property at our sole discretion. No bids following the fall of the hammer can be accepted. The onus is upon the bidder to ensure that the auctioneer is aware of his/her bid. The auctioneer is under no obligation to accept a bid and need not explain why a bid has been refused. If there is a dispute over the bidding the Auctioneer is entitled to resolve it and their decision is final.
