Essentially, the beginning and end result are the same but the part in the middle is different: In the case of a normal Private Treaty sale, someone purchasing a property is doing so on the assumption that the title and structure of the property are good. In the case of a public online auction, all this ‘due diligence’ work is front loaded (i.e. carried out in advance of the online auction) so that when someone purchases at online auction, a binding contract is formed and the buyer knows precisely what they are buying by checking all details before the online auction.
All our online auction dates can be viewed in the calendar on our website. Please note, that if any particular dates do not suit, get in touch with us and we can look at arranging a date that will suit for individuals or for a portfolio of properties.
The DNG Creedon online auction platform is an efficient and secure system using up-to-date technology and has a proven track record of selling millions of euros worth of transactions – everything from small building sites to apartments, houses, portfolios and industrial property.
The process is completely transparent and user-friendly. Anyone interested in bidding needs to register with DNG Creedon via our website, you pay a €5,000 deposit (refundable in the event of an unsuccessful bid) and administration fee of €100 (only payable if you are the successful bidder).
Costs may vary depending on the value of the asset or the number of assets you’re selling. Contact DNG Creedon by email (info@dngcreedon.ie) or telephone (021 489 7300)
These can be obtained from our website. First you need to create an account with DNG Creedon, then click on the property that you’re interested in. From here, you can download the legal pack of the desired property and save it or send it to your solicitor. Alternatively, your solicitor can log onto our website and download the legal pack and examine it on your behalf.
All legal queries should be directed to the solicitor of the vendor (person selling the property).
If, for any reason, you are having difficulty obtaining a response from the vendor’s solicitor, please contact DNG Creedon and we will endeavour to clarify any outstanding matter or query to ensure that you will be in a position to bid on the online auction date.
