How we verify

We read the authority’s own document

Each auction record is compiled from the authority’s own notice, terms and schedules — never from an aggregator, a listing site, or a news report about the notice. Every page links the documents it was built from, so any figure can be traced back to the page and clause it came from.

Where an authority publishes on a portal rather than as a PDF, we say which portal and on which date we read it. A portal-state observation is dated because portals change; a notice fact is dated to the notice.

We keep the authority’s words

Authorities do not use one vocabulary, and flattening theirs into ours would quietly change what a figure means. UPAVP calls its deposit token money; BDA Bathinda calls its deposit an eligibility fee; most call it an EMD. UPAVP publishes a Reserve Price as a rate and a Total Cost as an aggregate, and neither is derived from the other. We print the source’s own label in every place the figure appears.

We label arithmetic as arithmetic

Some notices publish an area and a rate but no per-lot total. Where a total would be useful we multiply the two published figures and say so on the page — it is our arithmetic, not a reserve the authority printed. A calculated total is never presented as a published one, and a published base price is never promoted to a reserve floor.

The same rule covers measurement. Shapes and distances are stated only where the authority publishes the geometry; where a drawing is our own reconstruction, the page shows what the documents print rather than what our trace measures.

Every page says what it does not cover

A notice can list hundreds of properties while our research covers a subset. Each page states the notice’s own scope and then exactly what we account for, so a subset is always visible as a subset. Counts on this site describe what this site publishes — never a wider inventory we have merely seen.

Where a document contradicts itself, we print the conflict

Notices are not always internally consistent. One authority’s terms give two different routes for paying the same deposit; another gives two different due dates for the same first instalment, with a forfeiture attached to the earlier one. In cases like these we do not pick the reading that makes the page tidier. We show both, say we could not establish which governs, and point to the authority’s own help desk — because that is the difference between a page that is easy to read and one that is safe to act on.

Records are dated, and corrections stay visible

Every record carries the date it was last verified, and the page shows it. When an authority issues a corrigendum, it becomes a dated entry in that record’s changelog with a link to the addendum — the earlier state is not overwritten, because a buyer who read the page last week needs to know what changed.

What we do not publish

A winning bid appears on this site only where we hold a research record of a concluded event that prints it, and it is labelled as that prior event’s figure and linked to its source. We never publish the outcome of a live auction we have not verified against the authority’s own result, and we never publish the identity of a bidder. Where the authority publishes no winning bid, we say so plainly — an absence stated as a fact about the source, rather than a gap that looks like something we failed to look up.

We also do not republish authority portal screenshots. Where a diagram helps, we draw our own from the facts.

We are not the auction

BiddingPulse is independent research. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting for any government body or auction authority whose auctions we describe, and we are not a broker or agent. Registration, deposits and every bid happen on the authority’s own portal or at the venue its notice names — never here. See our full disclaimer.
