Property Auctions in Durban

Property auctions have historically been a means of disposing of property in possession. In the current property market, it is sad to say that in some instances, it may be the case. However some property owners will choose to use the property auction method due to the strict criteria involved in the bidding process in terms of the qualification of potentila buyers.

Property auctions in the last few years have given rise to a trend whereby the investor is able to aquire a property of choice without having to spend hours driving around a looking for the right property for their intended purpose. In terms of commercial and industrial property, it is a clear definition of the rates of return found to be acceptable to an investor in the current economic climate. The view of investors in that the seller is in a position of distress as there are too many reasons for a sale of an investmetn property as can currently be seen by the restructuring evident in the property loan stock companies.

Tossed in among the auctions by choice, you may find some estates, liquidations and properties being disposed of by emigrators. Ther are still bargains to be found if you find yourself attending regular auctions. It just so happens that the unfortunate over gearing by some investors in residential property has caused speculators to release some of the properties in their portfolio as the borrowing requirements of primary residence searchers has become extremely difficult.

The evidence is seen by the slowdown of speculators aquiring property from developers with the intention of reselling or tenanting once construction of the property has been completed and a NHBRC certificate provided for occupation to be taken of the said property.

The pressures in the construction industry seems to be easing off at last as more and more developers are getting back to 100% function of shortage in the skilled workforce and cement industry.
