Comprar en Subasta — Acquisition End to End

Argentina (AR) — civil law.

Nothing on this page describes United States practice. There is no certificate sold to an investor, no administrative sale, and no post-sale redemption window in Argentina. If you arrived carrying US assumptions, read falsos-amigos first.

Buying at a subasta — end to end

Before

1. Find the sale. Start from the jurisdicción, then the portal or the boletín oficial. There is no single national listing.
2. Diligence. All of it.
3. Register with the portal and post whatever guarantee is required. Portals typically require this in advance, so this deadline precedes the auction.
4. Stage the funds in pesos. See moneda-y-pago.

The act

5. Bid to your maximum. Under Acordada 15/25 and the provincial portals, bidding is anonymous — you cannot see who you are against, which removes the signalling that used to shape live outcry.
6. Win. Pay the `seña` immediately. The martillero records the acta de subasta.

After

7. Pay the saldo within the period fixed. Failure makes you a postor remiso: forfeited seña, plus exposure to the shortfall on a re-auction.
8. Wait for the [[conceptos/titulo-del-adquirente-en-subasta|auto de aprobación del remate]]. This is the pivot. Before it, the sale can still be attacked; after it your position is substantially consolidated.
9. Registration by oficio judicial. There is no escritura to sign — the judicial instruments are the title.
10. Possession. Request delivery; if the occupant will not leave, the `lanzamiento` is executed by an oficial de justicia. Budget months.
11. Settle what survived. Principally `expensas` arrears, which are yours.

Do not spend on the property before the auto de aprobación.

That window is the annulment risk period, and improvements made during it are money at risk.
