The official receiver who orders, pursuant to Article L. 642-18, the sale of immovable property by judicial or amicable auction determines:
1° The starting price for each of the assets to be sold and the essential conditions of the sale;
2° The advertising procedures, taking into account the value, nature and location of the assets;
3° The procedures for visiting the assets.
When the sale is pursued by a creditor, pursuant to Article L. 643-2, the upset price is determined in agreement with the pursuing creditor.
The official receiver may specify that, in the absence of bids reaching this reserve price, the sale may take place at a lower reserve price that he fixes.
