BidX1 - Ireland Reviews 11

Sraightforward and transparent process, compared to more traditional methods of selling a property via an estate agent.
I‘m very impressed by the professionalism and dedication of the team in Dublin and in my area.
They helped to make this sale as smooth as possible and thus reduced my stress enormously.
I will definitely use BIDX1 with other property sales in the future.
The online auction process is certainly the best method of getting a sale done in a timely manner.

Once we made the decision to go with Bidx1 everything moved along very quickly and efficiently. Fiona was extremely helpful, attentive and efficient. She explained the process well and kept us in the loop every step of the way. She organised photographs, advertising and viewings to suit us. We had never sold by Auction before but I would certainly recommend BIDX 1 after our experience.

Won a property at action being highest bidder. I paid the balance due, €16,400. Half hour later was informed that their was a glitch and it was going back to market next day. Contacted regulator.

Bidding process was very clear and straight forward. Despite the complicated procedure (mainly caused by my finance), BidX1 staff were supportive all the way, from before the bid until long after. Isabelle and her immediate team were very helpful, particularly navigating our interactions with the seller's legal team.

Got your generic reply,,, ie to respond privately.. NO THANKYOU. I am looking to purchase.. but have no confidence in bidx1. Adios
Having viewed a house for sale in carlow, i was extremely interested in placing a bid. However i was unable to.
Contacted them on over 10 occasions, no reply on emails or contact us button.
Emailed ceo of company expressing my interest in house & anxious to bid. No reply.
Also wanted to put my house up with them.
I wouldn't now as probably other buyers had same issue. So Vendor potentially losing out. Ill certainly make the vendor aware. Too late for them but a warning to others hopefully.
Not possible to give no stars..
Odd way they only respond to the few good reviews??? Emmm steer clear.

I am giving one star as I can't give them zero.

Definitely not recommend to buy through Bidx. You will be ghosted by the sales person. BidX gets income when the bidder register for bidding that is approximately 200e per person, a money a lot of people loose if they are not successful.

You need to get the paperwork checked by the solicitor and the house inspected by the engineer upfront, before you even start bidding, that is a lost cost of you are unsuccessful.

Next, if you are successful you will be literally forced to buy the property otherwise you loose the deposit of approximately 5k.

To any person who is even considering buying on BidX, especially first time buyers, DO NOT. Do not be tempted by a low entry asking price - price will go up during bidding and you will only be loosing money the moment you sign up for this gambling Game.
House is serious expense, you need to consider the purchase carefully, a luxury that you don't get with BidX.
Sales people are ghosting you, they just want money, and even a person who is showing you a house has no clue, nothing at all about the house, their job is to open and close the door for you. Talking from experience, unfortunately..

Efficient process,information provided in a timely fashion

Great experience so far. We’re cash buyers and found a great apartment in Kildare county being sold by a receiver on BidX. Basically it was on sale by the bank because the previous owner couldn’t pay off his mortgage. We’ve got a solicitor consultation (costed 250 euro), he confirmed that everything is good, the legal pack is adequate and we’re not gonna have problems with a title. The only risk was with management fees not being paid for years but we accepted the risk and were ready to pay it off in the worst case scenario. We had a viewing of the apartment and we liked it. We sent the bidding fee of 4500€ plus technology fee of 150€ to BidX. Money arrived in one day, very fast. The agent helped us a lot to make sure we’re not late for the bidding. The bidding process was easy and hassle free. We didn’t win it unfortunately, but the apartment was sold still underpriced. You won’t find anything for that money on the market. Okay, so we lost it and BidX returned our bidding fee in just two working days. Technology fee is non refundable, but it’s a reasonable fee for a chance to get a great property. So go for it, but keep in mind: this will suit cash buyers only. And make sure you found a good solicitor to investigate the property. Your money, your responsibility, BidX is just a platform for quick sales, opening some great opportunities.

I found buying at auction with bidx1was very easy, quick service (usally close the deal within 2-4 weeks), trustworthy site ( you can view legals before you register/bid) , honest staff with their information given about the property, i would highly recommend for anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

If you want to maximise your profit from a property sale - do not use this lot. Terrible outfit. Went to view the house and they could not let me in as they did not have access. Drove 2.5 hours each way to find that out. Went to the auction (open from 10am to 1pm) and it closed on the first bid made at 10.30. It was the reserve price and had they kept the auction open for the time stated I would have competed and they would have made a lot more money. Jamie the auctioneer was unresponsive all the way through my farcical experience.

They then reply to me giving me an email address (see their reply below) and this email address is not assessable to anybody outside their organisation seemingly. Their continued incompetence did make me laugh though.
