Objects that are collateralized property revoked from borrowers due to non-payment of loan obligations are displayed typically showcased there. These can be apartments, houses, plots, or even farmlands.
Initially, such a program was launched as a demand from international creditors in Cyprus. But later it was supported by the main banking institutions of the country. It turned out to be quite profitable for them to sell such property, making up for losses from unserved debts. As a result, the auctions were able to strengthen the banking system of Cyprus.

Legal entities officially registered on the territory of the country can also participate in the auction.
