How you buy this

  1. Every listing is free, and there's no account. You don't register with RepoLens and there's no login — every sale we hold is free to read, including the reserve, the auction date and who to contact. A paid subscription only adds earlier alerts and a comparison against similar lots. We publish what's up for auction; we don't sell it.
  2. You buy at the sheriff's auction, not from us. Contact Smit Sewgoolam Inc on 011 646 0006 — quote ref JE/JA/MAT50742 for the Absa sale. They give you the conditions of sale and confirm the auction is going ahead.
  3. Ask what's owing before you bid. The reserve isn't the whole story — rates, municipal charges and body-corporate levies can land on the buyer. Ask the attorney or sheriff what rates and levies are outstanding before you bid.

Full detail on deposits, FICA and registering as a bidder is in the buyer FAQ.
