Judicial auctions by province and court in Apulia

In real estate enforcement proceedings each court sells the properties in its own district (circondario), which does not always match the province; in insolvency proceedings the property may be located elsewhere. That is why provinces and courts are listed separately.

In Apulia 238 of the 1,157 active auctions (21%) come from insolvency proceedings, such as bankruptcies and judicial liquidations: for these the rules of the notice of sale apply, and the court is the one handling the proceeding.

How to bid in auctions in Apulia

As everywhere in Italy, anyone who wants to buy reads the notice of sale and the appraisal report (perizia) on the Portale delle Vendite Pubbliche, asks the court-appointed custodian (custode giudiziario) for a viewing, and submits the offer before the deadline. In real-estate enforcement proceedings the minimum bid is the starting price minus a quarter (art. 571 c.p.c.), and the bid deposit is at least 10% of the amount offered. In insolvency proceedings and tax-collection sales the notice of sale applies, and the minimum bid often equals the starting price. How the bid deposit is paid, whether paper offers are allowed and the minimum bid increment vary from one proceeding to another, and the court order sets them.
