How to place a bid

You do not need to be logged in to search for properties, but you do have to be logged in and have an active application to bid on properties.

Click on the Properties and recent lets search link, select the type of property you are searching for, and press the Search button. 

If you just press the Search button without selecting a property type or area, all available properties will be displayed.
