Pre-Registering & Signing an Authority to Bid Electronically
IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO READ FOR INTERESTED PARTIES REGARDING PRE-REGISTRATION:
With our consumer friendly Online Friendly Auction System, priority will be given to those who have pre-registered in the case of any negotiations prior to auction, changes in price guide, contract conditions, or auction date.
Even if you intend on attempting to purchase prior to the auction date and not bid on auction day, you will still need to pre-register in order to be given equal timing and priority as those others who have pre-registered. This is the simplest and fairest process to ensure a level playing field and that the simple preparation work required to bid prior to auction date, or on auction date are taken care of for the benefit of allowing a smooth transaction for buyer and seller.
Please find below instructions to pre-register yourself for an auction and giving someone the authority to bid on your behalf. Similarly, if you are bidding on behalf of a Company, Superfund or Trust, you will need to give yourself authority in the same manner.
Please refer to the tutorial video below to be shown through the registration process:

Please bear in mind a lot of advice can be given over the phone with maybe one (if any) face to face meetings required, so the locations of each of the below isn't too critical, choose the one you're most comfortable with.
Deposit Payment Options
It is understood that to purchase at auction you will need to provide a 10% deposit (if you require any flexibility to the deposit arrangement (5%) please let the agent know asap and we can work on a solution to assist you).
There are several deposit options available to you.
A bank cheque is preferable however a personal cheque is acceptable with prior notice to us. The cheque is to be made to PRDnationwide Newcastle.
It is often asked “how much do I need to bring as a deposit if I don’t know what it will sell for?”
Great question, and the answer is this; bring a 10% cheque for the MAXIMUM amount you would be comfortable bidding on the night, and if you do happen to be the successful bidder for a lower figure, the balance can be transferred back to you by our accounts department with written confirmation from you solicitor(i.e. if you intended a hypothetical max bid of $750,000 then you will need a $75,000 (10%) deposit cheque made out to PRDnationwide Newcastle). Please let me know if any changes to this are required.
We also can accommodate an electronic transfer of funds using DEFT Auction Pay.This is a cheque-free, safe and secure way to pay your deposit at auction. Please below for a video with further information.
The last option is to transfer the funfs in our trust account 4 days prior to the auction so the funds are cleared in the account .
