What Is a Judicial Sale?

A judicial sale is a public auction conducted by the Sheriff of the Supreme Court, where properties are sold to satisfy outstanding debts. The property is awarded to the highest and final bidder, subject to compliance with the court’s requirements.

Importantly:

• There is no fixed sale price

• The upset price is simply the minimum bid allowed

• Competitive bidding can drive prices higher

What You Need to Participate

If you’re planning to bid at a judicial sale, preparation is essential.

✔ Requirements on the Day of Sale

• Valid photo ID

• Manager’s cheque or certified banker’s cheque

• Deposit equal to 10% of the debt owing, payable to the Accountant General

• A minimum of three bidders must be present for the sale to proceed

Judicial sales are typically held in the parking area of the old High Court building on Peynier Street, Castries, unless otherwise stated.

After a Successful Bid

• All unsuccessful bidders receive their deposit cheques back immediately

• The successful bidder’s deposit is retained as part of the purchase price

• The balance of the purchase price must be paid within six (6) months

• Interest accrues at 6% per annum on the outstanding balance

• Failure to complete payment results in forfeiture of the deposit

Can You View the Property Before Bidding?

Judicial sales properties are sold “as is.” Physical viewings are not guaranteed. However:

• A map sheet can be obtained from the Registry of Lands

• The Sheriff’s Office may assist with general location details

This makes due diligence and professional guidance especially important.

Should You Buy at a Judicial Sale?

Judicial sales can be attractive for:

• Cash buyers

• Investors seeking value

• Buyers comfortable with legal timelines and risk

However, they are not suitable for everyone. Title regularization, timelines, and condition risks must be carefully assessed.
