Starting price and market value in Catania
The starting price of an auction almost never matches the market value. To find out whether a property at auction in Catania is a real opportunity, ImmobilScan estimates the market value of the area on OMI data and compares it with the lot's price.

How to bid in auctions in the province of Catania
You do not need a lawyer to bid: the offer is filled in on the Ministry's form, digitally signed and sent by certified email (PEC). If the notice of sale provides for a mixed sale, you can also deposit it in a sealed envelope with the sale delegate. A lawyer is needed only to bid through a proxy (procuratore) or to bid for a person to be named later (persona da nominare) (articles 571 and 579 c.p.c.). In real-estate enforcement proceedings you need a bid deposit of at least 10% of the price offered and an offer no lower than the starting price minus a quarter; in insolvency proceedings the notice of sale applies. Each proceeding has its own notice of sale, with the contacts of the sale delegate and the custodian and the rules of that sale.
