How you buy this
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
