    Just saw a property pass in for 840k when the statement of information stated 730 - 790K?

    Is this allowed and usual in VIC?

    Just very typical, the regs are very weak in this area, enforcement is difficult.

    Should not be allowed from what I understood.

    Fair enough

    I understand underquoting (say 700k expected when bidders have a war and it goes to $1 million) but this one here was the reserve was over. Thought the 840k was a good price for the property, now its up for 850-920k

    Did they update the Statement of Information prior to the auction? Often agents will do this if they have received an offer above the range.
