When you are searching for a new\u00a0property, it can be very confusing trying to understand what the different methods of sale mean when a property is marketed i.e.\u00a0Fixed Price, Auction, Tender, Deadline Sale and By Negotiation.
<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I have\u00a0compiled a list below for your reference.\u00a0
<\/span>
<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Fixed Price<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

A Fixed price is where the property is offered at a price determined by the seller.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n


For Sale by Negotiation<\/strong>
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

This method of sale offers a property to the market with no price. The buyers with an interest in the property are encouraged to make an offer and negotiate.\u00a0\u00a0


For Sale by “Negotiation” or “Offers” Over a Price <\/strong>

<\/strong>This method of sale offers a property to the market with a\u00a0price indication.\u00a0The buyers with an interest in the property are encouraged to make an offer over the stated price\u00a0and negotiate.\u00a0\u00a0


Auction<\/strong>
\u00a0
The Auction method creates a situation where buyers have to compete with other buyers, rather than competing with the Vendor.
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
When a property is for sale by auction it cannot be sold unless it reaches the \u2018reserve price\u2019 set by the vendor \u2013 however if there is competitive bidding it can be sold for well above the reserve price.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Auction means that prospective buyers will bid against one another at a date and time set by the vendor.\u00a0The venue for the auction is either held at the property or another location, which is usually at the agents offices.
<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n



Vendor bids<\/span>

Sometimes during an auction, the auctioneer or some other person working on behalf of the seller (such as the real estate agent), may make a bid on behalf of the seller. This is called vendor bidding.\u00a0
\u00a0
Vendor bidding is sometimes used by the auctioneer as a way of starting off the bidding or trying to move bidding towards the reserve price.\u00a0
\u00a0
Vendor bidding is only allowed if all three of the following conditions are met:

<\/p>\n

    \n
  • the property being auctioned has a reserve price<\/li>\n
  • the reserve price has not been met<\/li>\n
  • the auctioneer makes it clear that the bid being made is a vendor bid.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n


    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    Vendor bids must be clearly identified by the auctioneer and they will say something like \u201cThis is a vendor bid\u201d.\u00a0 They will not be able to use auctioneering jargon such as \u2018The bid is with me\u2019.<\/div>\n



    Auction does require you to be cash unconditional when you bid at Auction, which means you will have to undertake all due diligence prior to purchasing. Therefore you will possibly be taking on the cost of building inspections, lawyers cost, L.I.M. reports and more without knowing if you will be able to secure the property.

    *Auction excludes all conditional buyers.

    <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    Before the auction check the Conditions of Sale and the Title.


    <\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
      \n
    • If the settlement date set is not suitable to you, this may be negotiable and you can discuss this prior to the auction.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
    • If you are the successful bidder, a 10% deposit is required on the day, unless alternative arrangements have been agreed to by the vendor prior to the auction (a personal cheque is acceptable).<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
    • Decide before the day in whose name the property will be purchased and have that person in attendance (absentee bidders can be accommodated – in this case ask for advice well before the auction).<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
    • Check that you are in a position to bid on an unconditional basis.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
    • Arrive at the Auction Rooms in time for the auction and register if you are going to be bidding.\u00a0 You will need to have received a copy of the New Zealand Residential Property Sale & Purchase Agreements Guide.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
    • Position yourself so you can clearly see and hear the Auctioneer.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
    • Bid positively – either by hand movement or call out your bids.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
    • Remember – when the hammer goes down, the highest bidder has purchased the property.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

      Tender<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

      \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Selling by tender is a method of exclusively marketing a property without a listed priced.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
      Written offers, called tenders, are accepted up to a certain time and date set by the vendor.\u00a0 Once the tenders are opened and examined, the highest or any tender is not necessarily accepted.\u00a0 The vendor can negotiate with any tenderer.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
      The purchase price and conditions of any tenders are not disclosed publicly or to any other tenderer.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
      Once the Tender process has begun no offers may be accepted prior to the date set for the Tender.\u00a0
      <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

      \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n


      Deadline Sale or Deadline Treaty<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

      \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      The Deadline sale process is again a method of marketing a property without a listed price. Similar to a Tender, the Deadline Sale has written offers to be submitted by a certain date and time set by the vendor.\u00a0 These offers are made on a standard \u201cSale and Purchase Agreement\u201d (rather than specific documents being made as in a Tender situation).\u00a0 The Vendor also has the right to negotiate with any offer and can sell their property prior to the nominated date if they wish.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
