MyHome Offers: How to Register and Bid

Step 1: Open the bidding platform

Go to Forkin.ie, and click into the ‘Online Bidding’ tab. Scroll to find the property you wish to register for and click ‘Place Bid’.

Step 2: Create or log into your MyHome Offers account

Clicking ‘Place Bid’ will direct you to the MyHome Offers platform. You will be prompted to log in or create a MyHome Offers account.

Step 3: Complete your bidder details

During registration you’ll be asked for your details and you’ll also have the option to indicate whether you are:

mortgage approved,a cash buyer, etc.

Step 4: Your request is sent to us for approval (you still cannot bid yet)

Once you finish registration, we receive an automated notification that you have made a Request to Bid. You will not be able to place a bid until we approve you.

Step 5: We will request your documents

Before we approve you to bid, you will be prompted (via the MyHome Offers system) to upload your documents.

What you need to upload:

• Photo ID (passport or driving licence)Proof of funds, depending on your situation:
•  Mortgage buyer: Approval in Principle / loan offer letter (or broker/lender confirmation) plus evidence of deposit (e.g., savings statement)
• Cash buyer: recent bank / investment statement showing funds available (you can redact day-to-day transactions if you want, but the name and available balance must show)
• Solicitor details (once you have them) – name, firm, email, phone

(If anything else is needed for a specific sale, we’ll tell you.)

Step 6: Uploading the documents

Upload the documents using the upload option shown in the platform. Once uploaded, we are notified that documents have been submitted.

Step 7: We review and approve you

Once we’ve reviewed your documents, we will change your status to Approved to Bid (“Can bid”).

You’ll then receive an email confirming either:

• You are approved and can now bid
• You are not approved and cannot bid.

Step 8: Placing a bid

When approved, you can place bids online. You’ll see competing bidding activity, but bidders are anonymised (e.g., “Bidder X”).

Step 9: If bidding closes / sale agreed

When a bid is accepted and bidding closes, unsuccessful bidders receive an email advising they have been unsuccessful.

Step 10: Document retention

Documents containing personal information are automatically deleted after a set period (default 30 days), and can be deleted sooner.
