When a creditor holding a published security interest over an immovable by destination forms an overbid, the sale is made by a ministerial officer authorised by his statute to conduct public auctions of tangible movables and, in the cases provided for by law, by sworn goods brokers.
In the absence of a bidder, this creditor is declared the successful bidder for the amount of the reserve price.
Payment of the price or its deposit and payment of the costs of the sale automatically remove all security from the property by destination.
The distribution of the price is carried out pursuant to the provisions of Title III of Book III of the code des procédures civiles d’exécution.
