About sheriff auctions in South Africa

Sheriff auctions in South Africa are sales in execution ordered by the court when a homeowner defaults on a bond or levy. The sheriff for the area advertises each sale in the Government Gazette and sells to the highest bidder, usually with a 10% deposit payable on the day.

SheriffHQ lists sheriff and auction house property auctions across South Africa as soon as they are published, with the last selling price, nearby sales and bond amount so you know how much to bid. Register free to see full listing details and set email alerts for the areas you want.
