BIDDERS GUIDEResidential and rural property auctions

You will not be able to bid at an auction of residential and rural property in NSW unless you give the selling agent your name and address and show proof of your identity. Your details will be recorded by the agent in the Bidders Record and at the auction you will be given a bidder’s number. Registering for an auction does not mean you must bid. Registering simply gives you the right to bid.

Who needs to register?If you are bidding to buy the property jointly with another person, for example, a spouse or partner, only one of you needs to register.

You need to register if you are bidding for another person or a company, and you need to show the agent a letter of authority from them, authorising you to bid on their behalf. This also applies if you are bidding on behalf of someone on the telephone. If you are bidding for another person the letter of authority must include the person’s name, address and the number on their proof of identity (eg. Driver’s licence). If you are bidding for a company the letter of authority must be on the company letterhead and the ABN will be recorded in the Bidders Record as the company’s proof of identity.

Proof of identityTo register, you must present a card or document issued by government or a financial institution, that shows your name and address, for example:• Driver’s licence or learner’s permit• Vehicle registration paper• Council rates notice.If you do not have this kind of proof of identity, you can use two documents that together show your name and address. One must show your name and be issued by a government or financial institution, for example:• Passport• Medicare card• ATM/Eftpos card• Credit card or store card• Birth certificate• Citizenship papers.

The other must show your address, for example:• Utilities bill (eg. gas, electricity, telephone)• Real estate rental agreement• Statutory declaration stating your address.

When to registerYou can register with the selling agent at any time prior to the auction, such as when you inspect the property, or on the day itself. If you pre-register, you will still need to show the agent your proof of identity on auction day. The agent will then give you your bidder’s number.

What happens at registrationThe agent will write your name, address and the number of your proof of identity in the Bidders Record and, if you are bidding for someone else or a company, their name, address and proof of identity details. The agent will then give you your bidder’s number, which must be displayed when you bid.

What if I arrive at the auction late?If you arrive after the auction has started and wish to bid, you will need to quickly find the agent and register or present your proof of identity, if you have pre-registered. If you need to make a bid immediately, hold up your hand to let the auctioneer know you are going to make a bid after you have registered. As soon as you have a bidder’s number, the auctioneer can accept your bids. Return your bidder’s number to the agent after the auction.

Your privacyThe agent is not permitted to show the Bidders Record toanyone, including the property owner. Only an authorisedperson from NSW Fair Trading is permitted to see theBidders Record. The agent must store the Bidders Record securely and cannot use it for any purpose.
