Auction Deposit Bond

Buying at auction? At an auction, the winning bidder is typically required to pay 10% cash deposit to secure the property.  If you do not have ready access to a cash deposit you can use an auction deposit bond to secure the property.

So we get it, you may be unsuccessful in your attempts to secure the property you want at auction.  Therefore, we make it super easy for you and issue you with an auction deposit bond that can be re-used for multiple auctions and properties within the purchased timeframe until you are finally successful!

The auction bond is issued without the vendor’s names, the conveyancers details and the property address.

Once successful at auction, you just need to complete the basic information that you know, like:

✓ The final purchase price
✓ The property address
✓ The vendors full name

We strongly recommend you speak to the auctioneer, real estate agent or vendor’s legal representative before the auction to confirm they will accept a deposit bond in lieu of cash.

Below is an illustrative example how an auction bond works:

How long should I get the deposit bond for?

An auction deposit bond can be purchased for a 3 or 6 month term only. Unless you are super confident you are going to be successful on your first attempt at auction, our recommendation is that you acquire the auction bond for the 6 month term.

The deposit bond can be extended if the settlement date goes beyond the Expiry Date on the deposit bond. A one off admin and processing fee of $200 will be charged to obtain a extension.
