When the term matters
The security deposit is a pre-appointment preparation issue. If it is handled too late, a buyer may be interested but unable to bid.
Check appointmentBid-ready in 30 seconds
The security deposit decides whether interest becomes practical ability to act at the appointment.
- Planning handle: usually 10 percent of fixed Verkehrswert, not 10 percent of your bid.
- Always check the concrete appointment and court note.
- Set amount, payment route and proof before the appointment.
- Do not discover liquidity constraints in the courtroom.
When it is triggered
The security deposit is not an entry ticket; it can be demanded after a bid.
- Bid placed -> party requests security -> court decides immediately.
- If security cannot be provided, the bid can fall away.
- Special cases can differ; the concrete file controls.
- Zuschlag shows the checkpoint, but does not decide bid eligibility.
Accepted routes
Form matters as much as amount.
- Eligible forms can include court-treasury transfer, bank guarantee or settlement cheque.
- Cash is excluded.
- Transfer needs enough lead time and proof.
- Use case reference, court and purpose only according to concrete instructions.
Check before the appointment
- Check whether security can be requested in the appointment.
- Calculate the amount from the appointment notice or fixed Verkehrswert.
- Prepare transfer, guarantee or eligible cheque in time.
- Do not leave court account, proof and deadlines until auction day.
