A FNB reserve is not the price you pay.
When a FNB bond defaults the bank is recouping a loss, not chasing profit — which is where the discount lives. What it does not tell you is the cost of getting the property transferred, so every listing names the attorney running the sale, the foreclosing creditor and the upfront costs on the day.
Sheriff auctions scare people off with the admin, not the price.
FICA registration, a 10% deposit on the day, the balance by bank guarantee within 21 days. We spell out the full cost to bid on every listing, so the process is the only thing you have to learn — never the price.
About FNB repossessed properties
FNB has the most-organised public repo channel of any major SA bank — its myroof.co.za/fnb partner page lists ~120 active properties at any given time. Most are private-treaty "mandated sales" rather than sheriff auctions. RepoLens does not duplicate that inventory; this page shows the parallel sheriff-sale-in-execution stream that runs alongside.
FNB sale-in-execution notices appear in the National Legal Gazette and in Provincial Gazettes for the magisterial district where the property sits. RepoLens cross-checks both sources and dedupes — the confirmCount on each listing is the number of separate gazette confirmations it has received.
Reserve prices on FNB sheriff sales are typically 60-80% of market value (set by the High Court under Rule 46A). The auction date, venue, sheriff office and FNB-side attorney contact are extracted from each Gazette notice and surfaced on the listing card.
Buying at a sheriff sale for the first time? The buyer's guide walks through the reserve price, the costs on top, the bond window and the arrears you inherit.
FNB also lists repossessed properties on its partner portal at www.myroof.co.za/fnb. RepoLens differs by publishing the case number and the instructing attorney for each sale, which the partner site does not.
FAQ
- What is the difference between FNB's myroof.co.za listings and the sheriff sales on this page?
- FNB lists two parallel streams of distressed properties. The myroof.co.za/fnb partner page is private-treaty "mandated sale" inventory — properties FNB is trying to sell before the sheriff stage, typically at a 10-20% discount to market. The page you are on shows FNB sale-in-execution notices — properties heading to a public sheriff auction with a court-set reserve price (typically 60-80% of market). The two streams do not overlap.
- How can I buy an FNB repossessed property?
- You either attend the sheriff sale in execution on the date and venue listed in the Government Gazette notice (where you bid against other buyers), or you buy direct from FNB through its repossessed-properties portal — the partner-bank listings are typically private treaty rather than auction and may be discounted 10–20% below market. RepoLens shows the Gazette sale-in-execution path; the partner portal handles the direct-from-bank path.
- Can I get a home loan to buy an FNB repossessed house?
- Yes. South African banks (including FNB itself) routinely finance repo purchases — both sheriff-sale auctions and direct-from-bank acquisitions. Use the RepoLens bond calculator to estimate monthly instalments. Pre-approval before bidding is strongly recommended. Approval depends on property condition and your affordability assessment.
- How current are the listings on this page?
- Sale-in-execution listings on RepoLens are re-confirmed every week against the latest Government Gazette PDFs. Each card shows a "last confirmed on" date. ACTIVE listings have been seen in the most recent gazette cycle. If a listing has not been re-confirmed for 14 days, RepoLens marks it STALE and excludes it from this page.
- How fresh is the FNB listing data here?
- RepoLens re-confirms every FNB sale-in-execution listing against the latest Government Gazette PDFs every week. Each card shows when it was last verified. The myroof.co.za/fnb partner page has no such freshness signal — that is the core gap RepoLens fills.
